Dear Janet, one of the sweetest most genuine women I’ve ever met. Rehearing at her house, she would always disappear at some point and then invite us all into the kitchen for A home made treat. It was an honor to have known her and, a couple of times, to have played with her and harmonized with that amazing voice. Love to you always, Janet. And to you, Lewis.

I’m so sorry to hear of Janet’s passing. She was such a kind hearted soul, always with a smile on her face. I only knew her from seeing her as a patient, but I feel like I got to know her pretty well over the thirty years or so so that I saw her and the family. I’m sorry that I never got to hear her sing as I understand that she was really gifted. Please remember that loved ones are never really gone as long as they live in our memories. Sincerely, John Hilton

May you and your family feel God’s presence, love, and peace during this time of grief. She is certainly with the Lord and you will be together again. You are loved and supported and she will continue to watch over you. Sincerely, Michael Barber
