Jan was my mother's first cousin; her father was my mother's uncle. Last time I saw her was just a few months before she and Norm were married and she was so happy, perky and full of fun. She'll live on in my heart and memories. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Norm (Sonny) and the rest of the family. Love, Leah

Norman, Even though I only met your Janet the one time in Amherst, VA, I feel like I know her through your loving devotion. May God's Peace and Love be with you and the family. Judy

Kevin, my condolences are with you and your family and this time of bereavement. we will be praying for you and your family, and I want you to know as my brother if you need anything let me know.

Mom, how could words ever be enough to even begin to say how much you meant to me? The life you gave me, and the things you taught me. Thank you so very much. You will always be in my heart and on my mind. I love you mom and will be my greatest honor to carry you to your final resting place. Thank you mom, I love you

Ninny, you were the best grandma I have ever met! Every time I went to your house, you would always give the sweetest hugs <3. I love you so much and miss you. You're in a better place now. Everyday I know that you are with me and by my side<3 I'll see you soon in heaven<3 I love you(:

Momma, Today was a very sad & hard day for me and I would for the rest of the family as well because today 1-Year ago we all were with you when you left our sides to go be with our Lord in Heaven and with so many of your Family members that had left before you. For you, I would say it was a blessing to be with your Mother & Father & Jesus & to be young & happy once again. I want you to know that with this day and with ever day YOU are thought of & loved by not only me, but your Grandchildren; Amber Michelle & Tristan Cruz & by so many others that were blessed to have known you weather it be for just a short period of time or for most of your life. So today we celebrated your life & your spirit and we look forward to being able to just to hug you & give you a kiss on your cheek & tell you just how much we missed you & love you. I hope that your enjoying every moment & every second. And I hope that you watch over us all until we are together once again. Love You Momma...."Always Have, Always Will"....

Very sorry to hear of Janet's passing. My most sincere sympathy to all.

Ninny, you were such an amazing grandma. you inspired me in many ways. I wish you didn't have to go. I miss all the good times we had. I really miss you period. I really didn't want you to go. It really broke my heart when I heard you were gone. I'm really blessed you were in my life. You were everything...my heart, my life. I remember when I used to talk to you about stuff... I know if you were here, you would want me to live my life right. If I had a say in this, I would have told Jesus to take me instead. I really love you and wish you didn't have to pass away. I love you sweet angle and rest in peace ninny. <3

My condolences to all the Staples family. I don't think I ever had the privledge of actually meeting her but I know she must have been a remarkable lady... it show in her grandson Chris. Thank you Ms. Janet for the wonderful influence and difference you made in my son in laws life.

Kevin, I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. The heartache that you are feeling right now is far too familiar to me and it makes me sad you and your family have to go thru that pain. I know there is no words that will make the pain go away, but I do want you to understand that your heart is aching so badly because you had the experience of having a great mother and for that you are very blessed. (I remind myself of that daily, because I also was blessed with a great mom!) You know Bill and I are here if you need us.

Ninny, if you can hear me; or if you are reading this now over Pa-Pa's shoulder... I want you to know that you are THE BEST NINNY "Christopher Paul", (words you shouted out many a time on that old farm when I was being ornery) could ever have. You will always be missed but never forgotten! You touched our lives and our hearts! I Love and miss you Ninny!

Momma, I will always remember your spirit & when I do it will bring back many memories. Ones of laughter, joy, pain, your spit-fire temper at times. ( : Though you were little in body, you were LARGE on spirit. <3 I know that you no longer suffer and that is what gives me peace. I know that the moment your spirit was set free you were once again singing. I remember one of our many talks over the years and you told me that the one thing you missed most since you had become ill was the fact you could no longer sing...now you up there teaching those angels how to do it! Though it was hard to see you leave us here on this Earth I know that you have just changed your energy into one on another plain of exestance. One we may not see, but we can diffently feel & we will all one day meet again. <3

Merry Christmas Momma <3 This was our 1st Christmas ever without you & to know that You & Poppy got to spend your favorite time of the year together again is a wonderful thought to carry on with us. I know we all still mourn for our losses, but we also can celebrate your lives & the memories the two of you gave to us. It's a comfort to know that with each breeze that touches our faces, it's you & Poppy touching our cheeks. I re-read all of the old Christmas Cards & Birthday Cards you two had ever sent me. I have always kept them all, along with the checks you two would send me....I know you would always tell me to go and get something "just for me"...but the truth is I never wanted to cash them...so now I can still look at your handwritting & smile <3 I KNOW that you both are in a wonderful place, surrounded by all of your family & friends and that you can still know & feel every thought or emotion that any of your children, grandchildren & great grandchildren have...so I know than that you are feeling LOVE & admoration that I and the rest of us feel about the two of you. I look forward to us being together again and crossing that river with You & Poppy & our Guide. It may feel like a lifetime for us here on Earth, but I know it's just a blink on an eye for you there in Heaven. That old saying is true Momma...."Death is easy for those that have met it, what is hard is for those that it left behind to feel it." Give Daddy a kiss on his cheek for me & run your fingers through is black curly hair....I'm sure he's glad to have it back again. Celebrate with Little Granny & Grandaddy, Ucnle Pat, Uncle David & Grandfather Norm. It's got to be an amazing feeling when you hold everyone you have ever loved and haven't seen for such a long time again. Loving You Always....<3

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
