Paula, Randy and Steve,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of your Mom. Aunt Janet was a wonderful person and I will always have very fond memories of her. In the past few years, as we prepared to adopt Abby, she would often send us notes of encouragement along with any newspaper clippings or articles pertaining to adoption that she had come across. Her letters always lifted our spirits. Please know that are prays are with you. Love Todd, Rebecca and Abby Moser

You have my condolences.. Have many good memories of Janet.. She loved to stay at our place and Alice(her Mom) always had to come down and get her. Found out later that she liked to stay there because she didn't have to take a bath before she went to bed. We had no bathroom or shower...Janet was a very smart nice gal and loved by all...I know Joanne worried about her so much later in life... I'm so glad we got to spend so many years together.. God Bless.. Love, Berti...

Dear Paula, Randy & Steve,
We were sad to hear of Aunt Janet's passing. Aunt Janet always met us with a smile and was interested in what we were doing and how our life was going. She was a fine person. I am planning on going to Vinton to the buriel because I might be able to bring Mom just so she could see you. Mom is in a nursing home since two weeks ago. She may be able to ride in a car that far. I know she would like to see you and give you her condolences.
You are all in my thoughts and prayer,
Rosemary Fetzer
