| Mom and her sisters, Laurie, Joanne and Carol... |
Doug and I, Sarah and Rebecca, and Doug’s children, would like to express our deepest condolences to Paul, his children and grandchildren, family and friends of Janet. I would like to express condolences from our family in NY, from Aunt Fran, Aunt Ona, Aunt Mel, Uncle Bob, and our many Legault cousins. Our cousin Susan expressed this also, and if you haven’t heard some funny stories of your mom when she visited Aunt Jackie and Mimi in Janet’s younger years, give her a call and she will fill you in! I also received a call from Sandy and Anthony Poulos, who wish to send their condolences and love to all the family. Sarah wished to see her Aunt Janet recently, and sends you her regrets and sadness. She wanted to be here.
When I think of my sister the words I use to describe her are friend, mother, helper, servant, encourager, and corrector. As my brother in law Steve said to me the other day, she executed her position as oldest in the family with ease. I would describe Janet as women of grace. She always wanted to lend a helping hand. She was there when you were sick, when you needed encouragement, when work needed to be done. She said to me, many times, “I just want you to be happy.” Her goal was to help you and to serve you, because she wanted to see you well and happy. I always hoped to be more like my sister as she cared for and helped others in so many countless ways without complaint. She enjoyed this. These were Janet’s talents which she shared with family and friends so graciously.
Janet was happiest when she prepared you a meal, or helped you paint a room. Whenever she visited you she would leave her loving touch. Her touch is all over my home in Schroon Lake, NY, and at 80 Hudson St. in South Glens Falls, New York were she had many childhood memories. Doug, Rebecca and I were so appreciative of her. Her touch is on the walls of my living room, which she painted when I was sick. It is the birch logs she put next to my fire place. Her touch was the placement of picture on the walls and the rearranging of furniture. These are just a few examples of Janet’s and love and care she demonstrated to me. She loved entertaining friends and family, and she loved to laugh with you and I loved to laugh with her. Janet felt a sense of being home in Glens Falls, NY and also in the mountains here in Boone, N.C.
Janet is at her final destination at her home in heaven, were all the saints of God reside. No more sickness, no more pain or sorrow. Jesus Christ the son of God understands our sorrows and grief. Jesus the son of God is acquainted with our sorrows and grief and loss. Because of Him we will be reunited with Janet in our heavenly dwelling. Janet I love you, the Lord be with you until we meet again.
Paul, Shannon, Casey, Jamie, and Paul Jr., we love you. Enjoy the Lord and His blessings until we meet again. Paul, thank you for your devotion to Janet and for sharing Janet with me on many occasions when she visited me. We love you. We all share in your sadness and great loss. Janet’s life has been and will always be a part of all of us who knew her and loved her. Janet you now graduated into glory.
