Janice, I think of you so often, with a smile and with a tear.  You were sunshine and you were a rock.  I know your family cherishes your love and your memory.  I do too.  I love that you stayed in touch with me after my Mom passed and always made me feel a part of your family.  We are family and always will be.  Enjoy your journey in Heaven, I know you are very loved there just as you were here. Bless your heart for all you did for so many people, you were a kind soul.                                     Love to you,
Sharon 

This month has been very hard for me. I pretty much went crazy. I miss you so much. I'm getting married this year and wish that you could be here to see me. I wish that I could see you. I really wish you could of met him. Grandpa really seemed to like him. I wish it was different and God would of taken me instead of you most days and I try to remember to be thankful for all the blessings that I have been given. It's hard to remember when you are blinded by so much pain. I never forget you and I just hope that you are up in heaven smiling down on me approving of the life that I have led. You were always the one to tell me the truth but with the love that I needed. I am so scared of losing anyone else that I can't let them get close or even of anyone losing me. I need you today to tell me everything is going to be ok. I wish you could tell me. Tell me I'm going to be ok, somehow. I never needed, only your love. I miss you so much. All I ever needed was your love and you knew. I'm so sorry that I left you. I came back for you. I hope you know that I was there. I loved you so much and I still do. I miss you. Thank you for the life that you have given me.

Mom, it has been 4 years now. I miss you greatly and hearing your laughter. How is it up in Heaven? Must be a glorious sight. I told Marsha about your Mom, grandma Baker, comin g to visit and making a salad out of the weeds (what I thought were weeds) from the front and back yards. It was delicious. I've told Marsha about picking up rocks on the farm, when I got in trouble with Grandpa Baker, such good memories. I've been very happy these last 4 years and you were right,  I smile and laugh when I am with Marsha, such a wonderful person and partner in life. Have a great day up in heaven Mom, I love you Steven

Mom, I still remember the time, Steven and me had done something wrong and you were chasing us around the car with a switch, but becasue we were in our teens and taller than you, you couldn't catch up to us, but told us eventually you would get us! I still laugh about that, even though to you it wasn't funny!


I just brought your Leather coat home with me today and that I had asked for and will wear it thinking of you!  Elaine had boxed it up with some things I had given to you inside the pockets and a homemade doll you made in the box too!!  


I miss you Mom and think of you alot and have alot of great pictures of you and so Thankful for the picture album you made up for me and treasure the things I have that were yours.


Steven, missed a Great Granddaughter, Grace, who is my granddaughter and you got to meet and enjoy with my son Patrick, his daughter. You would be very proud your Grandson's James and Patrick graduated with Bachelor degrees last year and Patrick is already working on his Masters Degree!

LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH MOM!! 

I remember Janice from when I was about the age of 4 years old.  She was married to my Mom's cousin at the time.  We used to go to their house on a regular basis.  I remember the birth of each and every one of you kids, all 5 of you.  I used to play with all of you and play in the back yard, same yard she still had when she passed. 
When my Mom passed away, she called and invited my Dad and I to come for the 4th of July.  I met Red for the first time, he was very nice and I know Janice was happy with him, felt safe and content.  Wayne was home at that time, but wasn't doing well.  We kept in touch each Christmas with cards.  She and Red stopped by my house, but I wasn't home.  I found a note on my door when I returned, I was sad that I had missed them.  I can't tell you how many times I intended to stop by to see her, but just didn't have time.  When I didn't get a Christmas Card this past year, I wondered if something had happened.  I checked the obituaries, but didn't find her name, so I dismissed it for the moment.  I have thought of her many times these past few months and I was so saddened to find she had passed. She was a part of my family too.  I know she had some rough times, so many sad times, but I can still hear her laugh, unique to her.  You should be and I know you are, proud to have had such a caring Mom, she wasn't afraid to show love.  She always had something good to say and could laugh at herself.  I remember when she had her teeth pulled and couldn't eat.  She said she would rub toothpaste on her gums, just to have the memory of where her teeth used to be.
God bless her for giving what she had and be grateful for what she had in her heart.  As tears roll down my face, I want all of you to know that I too loved your Mom.         
In case you don't remember how our families are connected, our grandfather's were brothers, my grandpa's name was Cecil Wilkinson, my Mom was Dorothy Wilkinson McCollum.
Sincerely,
Sharon McCollum Mealer        

The moon and midnight skies will forever look different in my eyes,

 though it is so hard to say goodbye,

  I know you are in a better place, surrounded by Gods love and his grace,

 Your pain is gone, you are now at peace,

All of your heartache and sorrow will now cease,

Your love and compassion will forever live on in our hearts,

 Though none of us ever thought we would be apart,

 You will forever live in our hearts

 Forever and Always,

 Your Granddaughter,

 Sarah

I love you.

Sarah Butler

This poem is dedicated to my grandmother.  This is one of the hardest things that I believe I will ever have to deal with in my life.  She was one of the few closest people that I had in my family.  She always listened and showed compassion towards me, she always loved me.  It is really hard to say goodbye to her and it seems that everything has changed, because it has.  This poem I would like someone to read it at her memorial if they could, I may not be there only because my job may not allow.  So, if someone could I would be so very greatful to you.  Grandma will forever sing with the angels and this is for her:

Prayer for Red (Mom's Husband)
During Mom's illness and battle with cancer, Red also went into the hospital.
Red has congestive heart disease and fell one morning. He was in rehab at Mt.
Carmel, in St. Charles. Red was released from rehab 3 days prior to my Mom's
death.
Red's two sons (Jim & Richard) and his daughter-in-law (Elaine) have been very
helpful and are working with Red to ensure that his needs are taken care of well.
Pray for Red during this difficult time. I lost my mother, Red lost his best friend
and wife and he could sure use all of our prayers, our help and support during
these difficult times he faces.
There are many who are helping, bringing food over and supporting Red. Thank
you so very much.

Memorials
I spoke with Red before I flew back to Roseville, CA about the memorial for
Mom. He is looking to put something together in St. Charles the next couple of
weeks.
I spoke with my Aunt Jeanette and Uncle Gene last night and we are tentatively
targeting June 15 - 17 to have a family reunion/memorial. We will be placing a
headstone at the Cane Hill Cemetery, next to Mom's Dad, Howard Baker and my
Brother Mynatt Wayne Wilkinson.
I will bring a set of DVD's for everyone that will contain pictures of Mom, past to
present.
Following this, in a year or two, there will be a ceremony at the Peter & Paul
Church in St. Louis, MO. All of the Donor ashes, who contributed their bodies to
scientific research, will be buried in this cemetery. I will put out an update to
this website on this Ceremony.

When We All Get To Heaven
During Mom's final hour, as I was holding her hand, I sang Mom part of this
wonderful song. Abraham and Sarah were there with me as Mom got her first
glimpse of those streets of gold.
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace;
In the mansions bright and blessed
He’ll prepare for us a place.
Refrain:
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when trav’ling days are over,
Not a shadow, not a sigh.
Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving every day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay.
Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we’ll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open;
We shall tread the streets of gold.

Mom, how is your Mansion? Thank you so much for teaching us all what
compassion and kindness are all about.

Mom's Passing
Mom died peacefully today at 5 PM CST at St. Joseph's Hospital in St. Charles,
MO.
Thank you, each of you for your prayers, your support and your care.
My Mom was a wonderful lady. She was a very compassionate and loving
woman and has helped so many. She has a very long and hard journey through
life and has taught all that have come to know her. She was full of laughter and
has given each one of us memories that we will never forget.
Mom has dedicated her body to science so that she might save someone else's.
We will determine a memorial service in the future. Again, thank you for all of
the love and support that each one of you have shown.
May God be glorified in each and every action we take. Mom would tell us all to
learn from our mistakes and move forward in life. Today is the first day of the
rest of our lives. Let us live it with grace, love, kindness and compassion.
God bless us all

I don't know the Weathers or James' phone numbers, so could not get ahold of
them.

Good Morning Mom
Mom, Red came home yesterday and before he came home, he came to visit
you. I am so glad you have such a wonderful husband. Red does a great job of
taking care of you. I old him a bunch of solicitors keep calling and some of them
wanted to know what H.D. Stood for. I told tht was none of their business. Then
they would ask ho I was and I gave them the same answer.
You told me that when you and Mom first met, she would ask you what it stood
for and e would say "Heavy Dury". That was so funny, Sarah and I would laugh.
Mom, you are not waking up yet. They ave you three different antibiotics ast
night. We are praying that they help you. Rest peacefully and may Jesus
minister to you in this time of need. Lots of things to talk about as a amply, lots
of things to just let go and I pray there is more of a focus on God's love,
kindness, each and happiness.
I'll be here with you all day, rest well.
Steven

Good Morning Mom, Today is the first day of the rest of your life and ours.
Mom, I was reading my Bible this morning and wanted to
share with you what I read. We have been studying
Philippians in Bible Study Fellowship and this touched me as
something you would teach me.
To Live is Christ
Philippians 1:27
"Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that
whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are
standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the
gospel"
Mom, I have found that life, our struggle to understand what living is all about,
what forgiveness is all about and what loving is all about can take a moment or
little while or can be a lifelong journey and struggle for some. I remember that
in the midst of some of the times in my life you have shown me compassion and
shared love with me. For me it was like a quiet, in the midst of a storm. A time
when I was able to reflect and grow. It is good to challenge one's thinking,
remove any distortion in our thinking.

I have learned that each day I am given a rare gift, life. Living each day as the
1st Day of the Rest of My Life, frees me to change, frees each of us to change.
Even if I have been making the wrong decisions day after day in the past, today
I get to decide again, to choose well.
I believe that is what God sees in each of us, or willingness to change.
Mom I love you.

Red (my Mom's husband) got released out of rehab today and he, Jim & Elaine
(Red's son and daughter-in-law) and your friend Jim (he made you the meatloaf
the day before you got admitted into the hospital and I got the pleasure of
eating - yum, yum, yum) all came by to visit with you.
You had a good night last night, with no major events happening. You are now
breathing on your own and resting. You have your stuffed elephant (Peanut)
next to you.

My prayer to God is, "God, grant my Mom a peaceful day, walk with her in her
dreams and I thank you for loving Mom, each of us and may we do something
today that helps someone else, may we think about one thing we hold in
resentment and learn to forgive. Thank you for saving us. Jesus, this I pray for
myself, for my Mom and for others. Amen"

It is a beautiful day Mom!
Steven

Moving Mom
This afternoon, around 4pm, they will move Mom to the Specialty Select
Hospital in St Charles. I talked with Dr Steven Cody, attending physician, about
Mom's current condition. Mom shows periods of alertness throughout the
morning. They are giving her another unit of blood before they move her. I don't
know how much Mom is understanding me. Mom has not been able to move her
hand much.
Dr Cody said that Mom had higher protein levels in her spinal fluid. He is
concerned that she has cancer activity in her brain. In this journal, I try not to
speculate Mom, you have taught me that, I just try to get them to give me the
facts. Facts I can deal with and that is hat you always want to know -the facts.
I will follow you over with the ambulance.
I have been holding your and Mom, massaging your forehead and you always
close your eyes and relax. I remember you doing that to me as a boy, I hope it
feels as god to you as it did to me. I care about Mom. Audrey, Alan, Diane,
Sarah, Jacob, Abraham have all come to visit you. Kate, comes up next Friday
to see you. Audrey and Mike will also be coming up to see you. I am waiting for
Sarah to get here now.
Mom, you have many friends who care about you and your health and love you,

Thank You! All of You
This morning I came in and Mom was alert. I told her how much I loved her and
then began to read to Mom all of the thoughts and prayers each of you have
shared. Many tears of joy, of concern and hope. It is so enriching to read all the
words of encouragement and overwhelms me at the same time.

Mom s more alert today. Chris is her nurse today. He does such a fine job and
shows much compassion.

Here with Mom
I have been here with you Mom for the last 2 hours. You would open your eyes
when I spoke to you and you nodded at me when I asked you if you were ok.
Praise God! Mom, a lot of family and friends are praying for you. You are so
loved by many.
Abraham Downen, your grandson was here visiting with you and I. He is doing
well with his business. He was talking to you while I was out talking with Dr
Amy and your nurse Emily. You had your eyes open as you were listening to him
speak to you.
You have a fever and you have some congestion in your lungs, they may move
you tomorrow to Specialty Select Hospital in St Charles. It spends on how you
do tonight. They are playing your favorite tv channel for you. I told them you
like to hear the music and watch the pictures.
Jacob and Sarah are coming up tonight to visit with you. Sarah drove in from
Savannah to see you. It will be good to see them both. I'll be calling your
Sisters and Uncle Gene later this evening.

about your condition. I always do better with the straight facts and detail. I love
you Mom. May God put a wall of love around you during these coming days. I
love you.

Mom's More Alert!
Well, Praise God, Praise the Holy Spirit and Praise Jesus!
They changed Mom's antibiotic last night due to a yeast infection they found and
this morning Mom is way more alert! Isn't that great news!
I shared this with my sister Audrey Mom and Audrey replied, "Good! maybe
Mom will come around and God does miracles with prayer!"
Mom, I really try to focus on living each day, one day, one hour at a time. I am
so very thankful for your alertness today. I am thankful that you can move your
hands, your fingers and your toes. I am thankful that you can node your head
when Alan asked you a question. I am thankful that Alan could tell you that I
love you and care about you and you understood. Blessings! Blessings!
Blessings!
Life is about the blessings! It is ENOUGH.
All I keep thinking and feeling Mom is, Thank you God, Thank you God!
Pat, your case worker at Barnes Jewish Center called me this morning with the
good news of your alertness. She said she was excited for you and that she
wanted to be able to call me with the good news! She was happy to call me
with good news and we rejoiced together.
Red & Elaine came to see you this morning. I am so very thankful that you were
alert to see them. It is a good day for you Mom.
I talked to Tammy from the Select Specialty Hospital in St. Charles this
morning. They are a Long Term Acute Care Hospital and they take patients on
medicare that need more than 26 days of hospitalization. They will be focused
on helping you to get off of the ventilator.

issues you are facing. She sends you their love, prayer and concern. Aunt
Alowee gave me Carolyn's and Francis' phone #s and I called at left a message
for Carolyn Grider that you were in the hospital and I talked briefly with your
cousin Francis Green (Altman), living in Chester, VA. I let them both know how
you are doing.
Audrey is on her way up to see you Mom and I will be there Wed night.
I pray that you are resting well and not in any pain.

ENOUGH
Mom, I wanted to share with you a story that Marsha shared with me. It was
during the very dark moments of my separation, that I learned what it mean
and felt like to understand what "ENOUGH" is. Here is the story that I
remember Marsha Sharing with me.
Marsha, Thank you so very much for sharing this story with me.
ENOUGH:
Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at
the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate,
they hugged, and the mother said,
'I love you, and I pray you enough.'
The daughter replied, 'Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your
love is all I ever needed. I pray you enough, too, Mom.'
They kissed, and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window
where I was seated. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry.
I tried not to intrude on her privacy, but
she welcomed me in by asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing
it would be forever?'
Yes, I have,' I replied. 'Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever
good-bye?'
'Well...I'm not as young as I once was, she lives so far away & has her own
busy life. I have some challenges ahead, and the reality is - her next trip back
will be for my funeral,' she said.
'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I pray you enough.' May I
ask what that means?'
She began to smile. 'That's a prayer that has been handed down from other
generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.' She paused a moment and
looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and she smiled even more. 'When
we said, 'I pray you enough,' we wanted
the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain
them.'
Then, turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from
memory.
I pray you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day
may appear.
I pray you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I pray you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I pray you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear
bigger.
I pray you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I pray you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I pray you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
Then, she began to cry, and walked away.
They say, it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them,
a day to love them, but an entire life to forget them.
TAKE TIME TO LIVE.....
To all my friends and loved ones,
I PRAY YOU ENOUGH.......

Moving to Select Hospital
Mom,

The doctors called me this morning and said you were not doing well. You are
really weak, running a fever and having difficulty breathing. You still are not
waking up. They are moving you to Select Hospital in St. Charles, MO. It is in
the same building as St. Joseph Hospital (where you gave birth to me, Audrey,
Wayne, Diane and Alan). They are going to take good care of you and help
keep you comfortable.

They say that you may not ever wake up Mom. I hope you hear us talking to
you over the next few days and if not, I hope the Angels are watching over you
and taking care of your needs. We all love you Mom. You have done so much
for each one of us in our lifetimes. You have taken in all who have needed help,
a place to stay and you have done the best that you knew how.

Mom, I am forever grateful for all the love and compassion you have shown me
in my lifetime. I care to retain and remember those moments where you cared
for me, showed me compassion and talked to me. Other moments, well, I
chose to forget and forgive them. Those precious moments with you, in caring
and in love, those I will retain, those I will keep and those I will share with
others around me and to those I love.

Mom, I love you so very much

Mom here is song for you
Mom, we sang this song today in church. When I heard it I knew God could be
your every moment, that God is our healer and that He can heal you. I went
down to pray with church elders knowing God promises that where two or more
are gathered in Your Name, that He will hear our prayes. My prayers were for
you and that you would be healed soon. Marsha and I lift you up each day and
ask God to watch over you.

Mom is now off the ventilator, yippee! They moved it out of the room. She is
now on oxygen through her trach collar. Mom still is not walking up. Mom it is a
beautiful day today. I love you. May God bless us during this time you are still
asleep. I pray for your health, for your future and know you are loved by us all.

13APR2012 Good Morning Mom!
Yesterday was Audrey's Birthday (Happy Birthday Audrey!) Audrey is my big
sister and she is now a year older. Audrey and I get to spend the part of March
and part of April being the same age, but alas, she is now again older.
Mom, they moved you to ICU 15, still in the South Tower. You are now in a Unit
that has windows. This was the same Unit as the lady that sang "Mary had a
little lamb" ALL DAY LONG, ALL NIGHT LONG! But after a while, I got use to it
and then I enjoyed it. She must have been a very happy lady to have sang all
day, the same song. I know that I would do something like that, knowing me
Mom. And, I know I would drive everyone nuts. I whistle like that, the same
song over and over again, each time trying to improve.
They put you on a Trachea Collar with oxygen. You are now breathing on your
own, with an oxygen feed going into your collar.
They lifted you out of your bed and put you in a chair to help you wake up.
They wanted you to see sunshine today Mom. I remember that room and the
view is wonderful.
You have many prayers and thoughts coming from many people. I love you and
you are loved by many.
Your fever is now gone and we hope you continue to awaken today.
Love,
Steven

11APR2012 Morning
Mom is doing about the same. She will open her eyes and track the nurse for
about a minute and then she returns to a twilight state. Mom had her left knee
operated on about 10/18/2010 and had a significant reaction to anesthesia.
They feel that she is having a similar reaction to the anesthesia they gave to her this time. The difference is that Mom has been on a much longer dosage of this anesthesia.

She was given Midazolam and Fentanyl. They have know side effects like Mom
is experiencing. The effects are increased when there are issues with her
kidneys, which Mom has. Many years ago, Mom took Aleve (Naproxen) and was
on dialysis for over 6 months. This damaged her kidneys and is now affecting
her ability to rid her body of the Midazolam and Fentanyl.

They are now going to move Mom over to a PIC Unit, located in Barnes North. I
don't know exactly when they are going to move her, but soon.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers concerning my Mom

Talked to the nurse taking care of Mom (Niki) and she stated that Mom is doing
about the same. Will open her eyes when her name is spoken and grimaces
when her mouth is cleaned. Mom is not responding to verbal commands yet
and the EG performed today did not show anything significant. I gave them her
previous doctors name, when she had knee surgery. Mom did not respond well
to the anesthesia from knee surgery and had a similar response - delusion.
Mom, sleep well tonight. You have quite a lot of people praying for you, thinking
about you and you are loved. We will work with you each and every day to help
you fully recover. This to in time shall pass.

Mom's current status

Mom is now opening her eyes when her name is said. The neurology team is
going to perform an EG on her today to verify her brain waves and to see if
there are any issues they need to be concerned about.
Mom has been sedated since March 19, 2012 and is having significant trouble
waking up.

Mom's kidney function seems to continue to improve and there is some
reduction in the swelling in her arms.

Further R-CHOP Chemo is not scheduled until she awakens and is evaluated.

This poem is dedicated to my grandmother. This is one of the hardest things
that I believe I will ever have to deal with in my life. She was one of the few
closest people that I had in my family. She always listened and showed
compassion towards me, she always loved me. It is really hard to say goodbye
to her and it seems that everything has changed, because it has. This poem I
would like someone to read it at her memorial if they could, I may not be there
only because my job may not allow. So, if someone could I would be so very
greatful to you. Grandma will forever sing with the angels and this is for her:

The moon and midnight skies will forever look different in my eyes,

though it is so hard to say goodbye,

I know you are in a better place, surrounded by Gods love and his grace,

Your pain is gone, you are now at peace,

All of your heartache and sorrow will now cease,

Your love and compassion will forever live on in our hearts,

Though none of us ever thought we would be apart,

You will forever live in our hearts

Forever and Always,

Your Granddaughter,

Sarah

I love you.

Yesterday heaven received another angel. She was a mother, a grandmother, a
wife, a sister and a friend; she was loved and cherished in each of those roles in her life. I only met her a few times, but she was welcoming and loving to me
and my son. I had the honor to spend many hours last night with her
grandchildren Jake, Rebecca, Sarah and Abe as we all sit around remembering
grandma and the role she played in making each one of them the wonderful
people they have grown to become. She will be greatly missed by all that have
know her. Rest in peace grandma... The video below brought me solace when a
good friend passed away, hopefully it can do the same for all that are missing
her.

Sarah your grandma was a special woman and she was the reason you are you.
She will be remembered for all the good and how she touched each one of you
all.....it is now a time to happily remember all those memorable times. Rejoice
in the happiness she shed on everyone. It is not the salt and pepper shakers nor the elephant collections that she will be missed for but the values, kindness and compassion that made each and every one of her children and grandchildren who they are. Her duty as a mother to all has ended and now each of you will fill the large task of passing on what you have admired in her on to your children and grandchildren. No one will ever replace her and as the long life she lived came to a close she was surrounded by love and compassion of a close family the she created and raised.

Mrs. Janice Browning please continue to look over your wonderful family as they
have looked over you. Their lives will go on without you but they will not forget
you and your enduring spirit is now free to guard over them always and keep
them safe eternally.....and lastly please have no regrets left on this earth as all
who know you harbor only love, respect and admiration for the life you have
led...... stubborn as always you fought to remain here but your duty here is

God gives you to come back to us. I was unpacking Mike's nutcrackers today

at 9yrs old. Michael loves so you so much and wants you to know he is thinking

dear friend Jan,
My words of encouragement to you are these taken from scripture and the song
book. First from the songbook
Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so,
Little ones to him belong,they are weak but he is strong.
Yes Jesus loves, yes Jesus loves me, yes Jesus loves me,
For the Bible tells me so..
Next from Scripture.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil
For you are with me, Psalm23:4
During my lingering illness with lung cancer I have learn to trust God completely
with my outcome because I know that it will take me home to be with Him. He
doesn't make mistakes with our lives so our response to Him is to Thank and
Praise Him for who he is.

On behalf of Gene Paul Baker, Janice's brother, and his family, we extend our
most heartfelt love and prayers at this trying time. My mother, Ronda (Baker)
Melton, wishes to send her love to Aunt Janice and her children. Aunt Janice was
always so good about calling with concern about my grandpa and grandma
Baker when they were sick or after hospital visits. We love you Aunt Janice!
Your family is in our daily thoughts and prayers. May God bring you comfort.
All our love,
Gene and Allowee Baker & Ronda and David Melton and family

Love to my Aunt Janice and Cousins! Thoughts and prayers are for you all
now. I so appreciated you Aunt Janice checking in with our Mother after her
surgery. It's been so long since us cousins have seen each other and memories
brings smiles to my face. Somehow, you Aunt Janice found enough space and
food for us all when we came to visit. We had a great time as I recall the house
rattled with noise and fun. I send hugs and love to you each, Janice, Audrey,
Steve, Dianne and Allan.
Your Cousin,

Mom,
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! I'm praying God will give you the strength to fight this
and bring you back to us, as I'm not ready to let you go! I know God's will may
not be ours and know he is with you and hopefully just resting in peace. It is
hard to hear that you haven't woken up yet and not doing well but I will pray for
your recovery until God tells us otherwise.
I Thank You so much for believing in Me and all the Great advice you gave me
as sometimes I may not have listened but now I know you were telling me the
right things to do and will always be grateful to you!
I love you Mom and will be their by next Thurs with your Grandson Mike who
loves and cares for you, like all of your family members do. We all love you so
much.

Dear Janice and family: My prayers go out to you. I feel very fortunate that we
have been able to catch up and resume contact over the last few years and talk
about our children and other family members, and our remembrances of our
grandparents, etc. Although it is a sad time, I feel that God is with you now and
making your journey easier. With love, your cousin. .

This all sounds great. But what even sounds better is a son expressing his
feelings and love for his mother. You hang in there brother. Your journey has
been a long and hard one. Never pass on an opportunity to say I love you to
those you love no matter how removed they may be or how far away they may
be from your everyday life now. It always helps the soul.
Love you brother,
Randy.

Hi Steven,
Continuing to pray for healing and a chance for all of you to communicate with
your Mom soon. I pray the Doctor's continue with the right medication and
diagnosis to help her wake up and continue with the healing process. God's
blessings on you and your family as you patiently await her awakening.

I took a nap this afternoon and dreamt of you. You were happy and peaceful
talking to me. I miss you grandma, your silly laughs and our heartfelt talks. I
want more of those with you. You are so strong, just keep being stubborn and
fight. I love you grandma and always praying for you. The great grand babies
send their love. Jay sends his and his prayers. You haven't gotten to meet him
but he helped me take care of grandpa and stayed with me everyday at the
hospital. I love you grandma.

Hello Janice Browning,
My husband and I are praying for you. God Bless you, Virginia Davis
Virginia Davis

When I my Mom met Red, she asked him what H.D. Browning stood for and he told her "Heavy Duty."  Red is made of Heavy Duty stuff, he served our country in WWII in the West Samoa Islands as a Marine on the front lines.  My Mom has benefited greatly from the care Red has given her.
