I am so sadden over the loss of a dear cousin, who I loved with all my heart. I find comfort that she is forever at peace, living now with Jesus. I can’t even imagine the reunion she is having with her Mom (Judy) and our Grandparents (Harry and Jane Durr) and other loved ones that have proceeded us. I am praying for her Daughters, Amy, Jennifer and Angela, and her soul mate, Russ. May you guys stay strong and always know that you can fall back on us, your family. We will always be here for you. Although your pain is great…we too will have a void in our lives. Janie meant the world to our family, and we will never be the same. What I do know is, God will get us through, and when our time comes, we will be with our loved ones as well…We love and miss you Janie…Rest in Peace. Don’t worry about us, just enjoy you life in eternity with God. You can now enjoy your endless journey… God Bless you cuz! I love you!
