Janet's love was an unwavering force, a guiding light that illuminated the path to connection and understanding. With her uncanny ability to sense the needs of others, she created a gravitational pull of love and support, ensuring that no one ever felt alone. Most importantly, she loved her family and rarely missed an opportunity to spend time with them. She knew what you needed at any given moment and made it her effort to be there for you when you needed someone. She was gravity itself and selflessly helped you feel as if you were the center of her universe if only for a minute. She was a selfless wife and mother, who dedicated her entire life into being the best she could be at those things. She would wake up early for packed lunches and stay up late with the grandkids to make sure bellies were full before they crawled into bed. Above all, she was dedicated to her faith in Jesus in hope that her family and friends would come to know Him as their Lord and Savior; which gave her the heart and strength in being a dedicated mother to her 3 sons, Michael, Kenny and Jeffrey (Darryl).
In all respect, she was a true portrait of Proverbs 31:10 -31, a virtuous woman whose price is far above rubies. As we stood by her bedside we watched her go home to Heaven with Jesus where we know she is no longer suffering or having pain and is enjoying once again the love and laughter of her infant son, Kenny. Mom has finished her race and entered into her eternal life of peace and love.
