Janet and I have been friends for 67 years since we met in kindergarten. We basically have been through life together and I will miss my dear friend more than words can say. Along with Mark and the girls and my husband Rich and my kids we have just had so many memories together. Always laughter and fun and I will miss that so much. Rest in peace, my dear friend... until we meet again. Love, Shirley and Rich

To my beautiful best friend. Janet, our 40plus year friendship has only grown stronger over the years. You were the sister I would have chosen, the friend I could always count on and I can't begin to imagine what I will do without you. You will forever be my person. I love you and even though you aren't here physically, you will live in my heart forever. Rest in Heaven my dearest friend. Until we meet again. I love you.

Mark, so sorry for your loss. I respected and admired you as a supervisor and now empathize with you as someone who also lost a wife to cancer. I understand what it's like to transition from caregiver to widower. Jesus got me through that journey and I know He can do the same for you.
Prayers for peace and healing over you and your family in this time of sorrow.
