(Deear Bob,
You know the loss I feel after having Janet as a part of my life for over 70 years!  Janet was the one to bring laughter to our group.   We knew she would see humor in any situation and her eyes would dance as she, between laughing, tried to tell us what was so funny.  Her beautiful smile and blue eyes were only a small part of her outside appearance that were windows to her inside beauty.   Janet was warm, friendly, kind, caring, generous, compassionate, and a friend to so many!  I am so honored that we were soul-sisters.  The experiences we shared during our childhood, youth and as adults are memories I will always cherish!   
But you, Bob, were her rock, her soulmate, her love!  You two shared life together for 52 years caring, sharing and loving each other!   What a story of unconditional love!   We’re so thankful for you and your sweet dedication to caring for Janet!   May your many memories bring you comfort!   We love you!
Judy (and Al, too) Zuk

Bob, I have so many wonderful memories of Jan. Working in the church kitchen and various get togethers.  She was, indeed, a wonderful, delightful person who could light up a room with her precious smile.  I feel your loss.  Like Andy, she will always be in your heart.  The road we two are traveling is long but our memories will carry us through.  Love always, Sandi
