Christie,
Sorry for the loss of your sister. My thought and prayers are with you and your family.
Dear Jim , Jenny, Jeff, Christie and my good childhood friend, Tony.
I just found out recently that Janet had passed, and I sent my heart felt sympathy and prayers.
I have some memories of visiting Jim and Janet at their home. Also of Janet being our families first babysitter when I was small. I believe Christie was our babysitter a few times as well.
I had the opportunity to work with Jeff and really get to know him at LPC.
And of course, I’ve known Tony since first grade through high school. And even though we haven’t seen each other in a long time, I still consider him one of my best friends.
I know that words can’t really say enough to make any kind of pain go away. But luckily, all those memories of her hopefully will console you and give you peace.
May God bless you and comfort you.
I remember Janet working in the nursery at church. Worked with her many times when I was a young teen. She was friendly and very good with the kids. May God provide you strength and peace during this emotional time.
Jenny,
Your, your dad and your family have my heartfelt condolences. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry!! She will be missed by all who knew her. I was definitely blessed to have her in my life. Many of my fond childhood memories include her. I hope everyone is able to find the strength they need to make it through this difficult time.
