Terry, Brenda, Eric, Matt, and Tony, always remember Jesus's words, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. My Father's house has many rooms. If that were not so, would I have told you that I'm going to prepare a room for you? And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you with Me that you also may be where I am." Jesus had Janeen's room ready for her and she is now glorifying the Lord. She is now perfect in heaven. It's family and friends who are grieving and our hearts are breaking. You will be in my prayers asking God to bless you with HIS grace, mercy, and peace. One special memory I have of you and Janeen is dancing at our 50th class reunion. Which brought memories back to our senior prom. I know you have many good memories to think upon. Love to you, Terry, and your family.

I will always remember When I had surgery on my neck in 1990, Janeen came to the hospital and did my hair after I showered. Such a kind and thoughtful soul. You will be missed Janeen.
