Janet passed away February 2, 2008 in a Sacramento Hospital
from complications associated with congestive heart failure.
She died peacefully with her two sons holding her hands.
We spread her ashes at the ranch on Palm Sunday 2009.

No matter what the hurt,
No matter what the sin,
No matter what the rue,
God makes that forgiven.

No matter what the fright,
No matter what the scare,
No matter the unknown,
God always helps you there.

No matter what the strong,
No matter what the meek,
No matter the abuse,
It's you that God will seek.

Poem written for Janet when she was sick
by her granddaughter Kristin, age 11.
