I'd like to send my condolences to the family of Janet along with the Bible's promise of a resurrection for our dead loved ones. Acts 24:15, John 5:28, 29.Death indeed is an enemy, yet soon our Heavenly Father Jehovah God will remember our loved ones asleep in death and bring them back to life in an earthly paradise. All the heartache and pain experienced by mankind will be a thing of the past.
Rev 21:3, 4.
May this hope bring you the comfort that you need at this time!
Sincerely,
Kenneth Glenn
