My heart goes out to each of you now and in the days to come. It is the wonderful memories, Janette's children and grandchildren that will keep you going each day. May God be with you in your time of sorrow (now and always). Love Linda

D'Nae and family, I am so sorry to hear of your mom's death. She was very kind to my family while we lived at Sands. She was especially kind to us during the end of our stay. Her smile was a bright spot for us. The last time I saw her, she was shopping of course. She looked so good and seemed very happy. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I wish we could have been at Janette's services to honor her and the good life she led. God bless you all, Judy Wootan

My sincere sympathy to the family. Losing a loved one is difficult at best, but during the holiday season is most difficult. Marvin will be gone eight years the end of this month and I still miss him terribly. Wanted to share this poem with you and the family. It was the verse from a card. REMEMBERING THOSE WE LOVE~by Walter Drake Around the Christmas Table There's an empty chair this year The precious smile is missing Of someone we hold dear. And yet our hearts are hopeful, though the season's bittersweet because we know the one we love has filled another seat. For another banquet table abounds with joy and love For those who've made the journey to be with our Lord bove. This season may you celebrate the Faith that is the heart of Christmas, the hope that lies ahead in heaven and the love of those we hold in our arms and in our memories. Blessings to each of the family....... Especially my childhood friend, Terry Brown... you will all be in my prayers today and in the days to come.

If you could look in the dictionary under purest of heart, there is no doubt in my mind that Janette's name would be there. She was THE most thoughtful, generous, honest, and kind person I ever had the privilege of knowing. Though I only met Janette a few years ago, we had some fun times together. I have laughed and I have cried over the last couple of days, as I have talked about her and remembered some of those times. And I wish more than anything that I had been as good a friend to her as she was to me. My prayers are with her entire family that she loved so dearly and unconditionally. Janette, I will miss you so much. I will miss you sitting in front of me in SPLASH Class at Trinity. I will miss that "twangy Texan" voice asking me how my week was. I will miss you as my friend. May you rest in peace. God Bless the Nichols and Brown families as you go through this sorrowful time. Mary Lou Hall

I am so truly sorry to hear of Janette's loss. I have MANY fond memories of her growing up & going through school @ Sands. She always had a GREAT smile & could really make a student feel better during hard times. She was a great lady & I know will be terribly missed. Heaven is a better place with folks like her watching out over the rest of us. Sincerely Pandy

Eccl. 8.8 (ESV) No man has power to retain the spirit, or power over the day of death. There is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it. We are never ready for death, yet it stalks us all as our last enemy. As the preacher said in Ecclesiastes said "there is no discharge in the battle." My heart grieved when Robbie called me to tell me of Janette's unexpected death. The shock is intensified when I consider that she is one of my generation. Such an event causes us to recognize our mortality. When I think of Janette I recall many years ago when as a relatively young lady she became church pianist for Mt. Joy Baptist Church. How the Lord blessed her with talent and how she faithfully used it for years not only in Mt. Joy but other churches too. Not only was she faithful in her service but she was joyful. June, Pappa Newcomer told me when my first son was born that he would never grow up. He was not saying that he wouldn't mature but that he would always be as a little "child" to me. I have not known the grief of losing one of these little ones as you now have so I don't know how you feel. My prayer will be that you will rest in the Lord's presence as he promised in John 14.21-23 "Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.…23 If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him." Bruce, Keith, Ann and Martin, I too have suffered the loss of a sister. Your grief is intense; your hearts heavy. In time the intense pain will subside and your memories will be pleasant. Until then trust in the Lord. He will comfort you as no human being can. Yes, I still miss Doris Kay almost 15 years after her death, but my thoughts of her are not grief filled but fond memories of things she said and did. As I think of you all I will pray for you. Love to all from Lillian, Karen and Larry Newcomer P.S. I went to the Nalley Pickle web site and printed the obituary for mom. I also showed her Janette's picture which is such a good one.

One fond memory I have of Janette pertains to her kindness and thoughtfulness. Several years ago as I was going through the pain of divorce she mailed me a card encouraging me that I would make it through that time in my life. She reminded me of the future and the hope that God has already promised me. The card came on a day that was particularly rough emotionally. It seemed to have been a divine appointment as I don't believe in coincidence. Janette, thank you so much for your kindheartedness and compassion through the years but specifically on that dim day. That act of kindness will be with me forever. I love you and will miss you dearly. Patrick
