Laurie, Jeff and all of Janet’s family and friends……I am so sorry for your loss. I too am very sad but I am trying to remember she is free now and not in pain anymore. She will be greatly missed by all of us at Medicalodges. Her persistent good mood and pleasant, constant smile is such a loss to all of us. And…..we all need to remember Janet’s words….”breakfast is the most important meal of the day”! I will especially miss our sing-a-longs…….she enjoyed the old music so much and always knew the words and the band! I loved that time we spent doing that. Please know she was loved and treasured by all of us and we will never forget her. Also please know how much she looked forward to your visits and the times you spent with her.
Dear Laurie and Jeff, we loved Janet and are so sorry for your loss of such a happy and beautiful daughter. I enjoyed our times having coffee and going to luncheons and our conversations. We will miss her and her joy.
So sorry to read about Janet. Sending our prayers to you.
Janet was a wonderful lady! Always upbeat and cheerful despite her physical condition. We will miss seeing her at MedicaLodges when we come for our singalongs. May you find comfort in knowing that she is completely healed now and enjoying her new life with her Savior.
Dear Family, I send you my heartfelt on the loss of your dear family family member. May John 5:28,29 truly strengthen you to reflect on God’s promises to bring back to life your dear loved one to a beautified earth where she can be reunited with her family, and never have to get sick and die, ever again. (Psalm 37:11,29; Isaiah 33:24)
