We will miss our dear friend.

Hal, Diane and Family I was so saddened today to learn of Janey's death. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I enjoyed speaking with her on several occasions. She was always so full of spirit and light. I last saw her several weeks ago, held her hand for a brief moment and told her that she would remain in my prayers for a complete recovery. I will continue to pray for all of you who will deeply miss her. Celebrate her courage and determination. She was amazing! Dee Stroup
