It was a sad day for those of us who loved her and the entire family. My condolences to Gerald and the entire family…With Love in Christ, Ernie
A LIGHT HAS GONE OUT IN THIS WORLD OF OURS…JANET WAS TRULY A SPECIAL KIND OF LADY THAT WAS LOVED AND ADMIRED BY EVERYONE SHE KNEW. SHE WILL SO SURELY BE MISSED AND WE SEND OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO HER FAMILY. HER LIGHT WILL SHINE ON YOU FROM ABOVE.
I will always remember Janet by her beautiful smile and her laughter! She was such a light in this world! I send my thoughts and prayers to Janet’s family at this difficult time.
Earth’s cry . Heaven’s smile Rest in peace now. Prayers and good thoughts for you and your family at this difficult time. I’m devastated for your loss ,
The nicest person I’ve ever encountered from the first time we met back in 2000. Drew has always been like a brother to me, and you as well as Mr. Spencer (Senator) always treated me like a Son. I will miss those motherly hugs and comforting smile. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of the family. I love you all.
All week i have wondered how can i put like 50 some years of memories into a short comment about this wonderful sweet, funny, and kind woman…Janet is the only person that i considered and always will as my Best Friend on earth. Always there when i needed her threw many years of good and bad happy and sad in life! I could write many things about my dearest precious Best Friend and a sister as she is to me in my heart, but it would take up several pages. Even tho i was no longer in Bellaire, and got back home to see her like 13 years ago, it never mattered, she was my best and is my best. I always said everyone should be blessed to have a Janet in their life and if she’s the only friend in your life that is more than enough! I ponder now how to stop the phone calls to her and ones coming from her, and i don’t want to deal with that now. She’s the only true and honest loving person i have had as a friend, but like i always told her when someone is carved in your heart their there for life and she is that..My Becky adored Janet too and i am glad Becky and Janet were close too. Janet my dearest and best i love you and you’ll always be with me till we meet again..I am lost with out you. Thank you for being my dearest friend and sister in Jesus…
Gerold, I don’t know if you remember me from North School in Martins Ferry. I am so sorry to hear about your wife’s passing. It has been a long time. I thought you lived in St. Clairsville. I looked you up several times but couldn’t find you. I hope you are well.
I was blessed by Janet’s friendship many years ago. Her kind, loving spirit was contagious and unforgettable. My thoughts and prayers are with Gerald and the family at this time. May God give you a Peace that passes all of your understanding.
Gerald, Ruth and Family:
So sorry to hear about the loss of Janet. Our deepest sympathy and prayers to all.
