Sheri & Steve
Sheri and Steve – Thank you so much for your comforting words. Sissy stood strong in her faith and told me all she ever wanted to do was serve God. To her last breath she was a witness of God’s love for us and wanted us all to know that salvation is through Jesus Christ. Though the pain and sorrow of loosing my sister is almost too much to bear I know that she is happy and has begun her eternal life serving God. I will be with her again.
Love you both, Nancy
So thankful for the legacy of faith, prayer and love that Jan marked on our lives as she pointed us all to Jesus!
God looked down from heaven and realized he needed a new angel. He wanted a
very special angel, so he searched for the fairest of them all. Therefore, he chose
Janet. She had already proven herself to be worthy by living by the word of God.
She shared Jesus’s teachings with everyone she met as well as giving her unconditional love to everyone she met. She was as gentle as a dove and shared
her love and teaching with all she met. She had stars in her eyes with the love of
God and a laugh you would not forget. It rang in your heart all day.
Why take her you might ask but she had fought a long and valiant battle with the
disease she had been given. In God’s wisdom he realized she was weary and decided she needed to return home to rest in his arms for a bit. I am certain she
has already began to work with Jesus and sharing the Good News.
Janet we will miss you, but you will always be in our memories. We look forward
to joining you in heaven someday soon.
What an amazing woman of faith. I was so blessed to get to know her. In the midst of her own battle she had the loving capacity to be concerned about how YOU were doing. She will be missed!
