May I offer my sincere condolences to you on the death of Janette. May your hearts find comfort in God's Word where it states: "He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord will wipe the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25:8) May your loved one awaken to a world where there will be peace (John 5:28,29; Psalm 37:11), no sickness (Isaiah 33:24), and no more troubles (Revelation 21:4) throughout eternity (Psalm 37:29). May your hearts find comfort and hope in God’s Word, family, friends and good memories at this time. My deepest sympathy to you.

Linda, I am so sorry to learn of your mom's passing. She was a wonderful, sweet lady! She was like my second mom as we spent so much time at each other's homes growing up. I know how hard this will be for your family and I am praying that you find comfort in one another. God Bless. Love, Carol

Aunt Nette, I will always hold dear in my heart you telling me "have I told you lately that I love you?" My heart will hurt from not being able to hear you tell me those words ever again...
