I was sad and surprised to read about Janet’s passing. I knew Janet from Parkview School. We would visit when she brought the little kiddos for lunch. RIP Janet.

Doug and family….we are so sorry for your earthly loss but are so thankful that even though we do not get to know her, we have been blessed with Shawn, Tandis and girls in serving our Lord at SBL camp. In that I m sure we have enjoyed her work and worth of Shawn’s upbringing…for that we praise the Lord! Prayers and love to all at this time
