Tributes
Leave a tributeGOD's Garden
God looked around his garden and Found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids and whispered, Peace be Thine.
It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home."

I have so many wonderful memories and I cherish everyone. Janet was amazingly talented in so many different areas. She was thoughtful and generous in helping others in every way she could. She seemed to look for ways to encourage others with her insight and wisdom. Janet had a magnetism that drew friends to her and her smile and enthusiasm would brighten any room.
Life will not be the same without Janet, but like she would say to me, “let’s make good memories and never forget them.” Yes, I will remember and love my dear sister forever. I have been so blessed to have had her in my life and to have shared in ways only sisters can.
--Janet S. Riegsecker
Then came cancer--and no one fought that fight harder than Janet. And as always her friends were there for her. She was able to deal longer with all the pain and suffering due to the love from all her friends.
Janet finally reached the next spiritual plane. We will always have her love and if we listen hard enough, we might even hear her wonderful laugh.
Janet was a great warrior. You are my hero, Janet. May God bless you.. Love, Judi.
Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. The Bible promises at Acts 24:15 that there is going to be a resurrection. The bible records several resurrections, thus giving us a solid basis for believing that your loved one will be raised up. Please read Luke 7:11-17. I hope that these verses will bring you comfort during this time.
