“Dear Larson Family, We cannot express the mixed feelings we have at the death of your precious Janet. The physical loss of her presence on one hand make us feel so very sad but the miraculous gains for Janet now in Heaven make us feel so thankful to Jesus who promised us we will see her again. We pray you have joy at the many memories you share of her and the peace of our Lord be with you all. Leonard, Wanda, & Lorenz Sunram”

“I was in the prayer group at Realife Coop with Janet. I remember one evening (when she was already suffering) that she had two of us over for popcorn and to watch a Gaither Homecoming video. Even in the mdst of her suffering she was sharing what little she had to extend hospitality. That says who Janet was. She gave so much the short time she was with us.”
