Dear Wayne, I am so glad I knew Janet for many, many years. She was filled with love, kindness and generosity. I valued every conversation I had with her (and you!). She encouraged my faith and seemed to radiate Christ so effortlessly.
A dear friend of mine has Lewis body dementia and it has been very hard for him and his wife. I hope Janet didn’t have this.
Much love,
Mary McCormack
