Janet was a wonderful, fun loving woman who never met a stranger. In 2010 Janet was diagnosed with cancer in 5 lymph nodes. Only given a few weeks to live, family & friends began to pray. Janet surrendered her life 100% to the Lord Jesus Christ and God sent a miracle down and healed her body of cancer! From that point forward, every person she met from the grocery store, beauty shop, even strangers on the street; she testified about what her Lord & Saviour had done for her & what He could do for them. Even on her death bed, Janet tested free & clear of cancer! What a mighty God we serve! What God sets free is free indeed. May friends and family find peace & comfort knowing Janet is in the loving arms of her Lord Jesus Christ today.
The Family would like to extend a special "THANK YOU" to all of Janet's caregivers, including Melissa Layman & Kim Keenan.
