Dear All
It pains me greatly that I cannot be with you all to celebrate the life of my beloved Aunt Janet.
She meant so much to me my entire life. Her love, support and acceptance was a wonderful
Blessing in my life.
She will greatly missed. My love and prayers are with you all.
Hope to see you all soon.
All my love
Tommy

Janet was a gracious giving soul.  Through connections with her caring family in Erie, she opened her heart and home to me and my family twice, for 3-4 weeks at a time, while I received treatments at a hospital near her home.

Janet’s entire family welcomed me into their homes like family, when we actually never met until my first round of treatments and I needed a place to stay. We will never forget the graciousness of the whole family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Janet’s entire family.
God Bless,
Linda, Ken and Patrick McGuire
Erie, PA
