Dear Janet, Charlie and I were happy to see you whenever an event was planned. You'd smile, hug us, and graciously ask about our lives and kids. You've shown respect to your hosts by being on time and bringing the perfect dish or gift. (The gift in hand was always festively wrapped. And if you brought food, it was delicious and generously proportioned.) Now, Janet, I know you know this; it was slightly annoying to some of us how your hair was always perfect! Your positive energy drew us in as you laughed, joked, and celebrated just being together. You were a courteous friend. Time moved swiftly during the vacations we took together. As time passed (and major plagues hit), your family grew in size, and the love in your heart soared with joy and pride. You cherished your family life by the beautiful lake that was your home. What a legacy to leave your children's children; you truly 'bloomed where you were planted.' As for Bob, I've never seen him without a big smile and a plan for the next hour, week, month, and coming holiday! You are his muse, his inspiration. And Bob is blessed to be surrounded by many, young and old, who will rally to love and protect him from unending grief in your absence. You've shown him and us what it means to live. You set a fine example of how to keep family and friends close. Be well, Janet. We know you couldn't fathom leaving this wonderful existence you helped to create. However, we believe you are currently assessing your surroundings and making a list of what needs to be done to welcome us all when we see you again. Thanks for the love you shared with us. Charlie and Dianne
