No more pain, no more suffering. She is with Jesus now and we will miss her deeply. Janeen and Rebecca were kindred spirits, and were like two peas in a pod when it came to playing the organ and piano. May the Holy Spirit comfort Bruce and the rest of the family with the knowledge that they will see her again one day. Our prayers and love remain with you always.
