We will miss you (great) Grandma B. Go and enjoy your eternal home with Jesus. We love you.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Although I don't know you personally, I wanted to share a comforting thought from the bible. Psalms 34:18 says "Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." Many
people have found the Bible to be a reliable source of comfort and hope. Moreover, in the Bible, God extends the hope that we will see our dead loved ones again on a paradise earth. My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family. Your friend,

I came to know Janet through Bible Study at Cottonwood Church many years ago. My Mother knew her longer than I did as they had been in Bible Study together before I started to attend. Mom and I were just talking about her on Sunday, and remembering the
joy of her contrubutions to the lessons we studied together. I know that she will be rejoicing in heaven. My Mom is 93 and looks forward to joining her. Blessings to your family as you remember her life here on earth and celebrate the joy of her going to heaven.

Always remember Janet as a smiling happy lady with a big heart. Now she can join other friends that have gone ahead. I am sure that Edna Wiersum and Edythe Zondervan will be there with the coffee cup to catch up on old times. Our thoughts are with you.

Barbara and Donna, We remember your Mom with great memories. It's been awhile since we last saw her but she was a wonderful lady and we'll always remember her as Aunt Janet. We extend to you and your families our deepest sympathy.
