Dear Janet The robin in my garden is still singing for his supper. My last conversation with you was about his song so whenever I hear him I am reminded of your warmth and kindness and how much you meant to Ray, Caroline, Andrew and their families and your wide circle of friends. Rest now

Dear Janet A much loved friend I’ve had the joy of knowing since I was a young girl of 17, fresh out of school and you took me under your wing for my first job at the Prudential in Reading. Fast forward two more years and you were busy making my bridesmaids dresses for my wedding to Roger. There followed many more years when our combined families would spend happy weekends together visiting theme parks, zoos, the coast, spending time at each others houses. Of course not forgetting those infamous new year parties, such a lot of fun with all the children upstairs amusing themselves we know not how but venturing down to partake of your usual excellent hospitality. So many happy memories that we will treasure forever. Janet you are so loved and will be sadly missed. With much love from Pauline, Roger, Matthew & Joanne xxxx

I remember Janet as a force of nature. Her love of life and determination to live it to the full always inspired me. She took such an interest in me and I looked forward to Ray and Janet visiting Caithness, bringing a taste of the wider world to our sleepy, rural life. She radiated warmth, compassion and kindness.

Dear Janet, We have such happy memories of you. Holidays spent in Suffolk and Scotland, seeing our children growing up, then grandchildren. We had many a walk in the hills and some great dancing at weddings and ceilidhs. Kind, considerate and selfless, Janet, you will always be in our loving thoughts. P.S The amaryllis you gave us in September refused to flower at Christmas but started to grow the day you left us and is now in full bloom. It is now called 'Janet's Flower' xx

Dear Janet we have known you for more than twenty years when we first came to Ipswich when Caroline and Simon became engaged and to plan their wedding. Since then we have shared many happy times usually at Orpington for family get togethers, birthdays, Christmas' and BBQs. We all got on so well together chatting about our busy lives and laughing at the grandchildren's antics, enjoying each others company. We shared many of the same interests but the one thing we both had in common was our love for our grandchildren and their welfare, that never wavered. We can't believe we shall never see you again, and will miss you very much. Rest in Peace.

Oh my darling Janet how I miss you so much. All my social life has been spent with you. We walked together, we climbed mountains together, we cycled together, we had some great holidays together. You cooked great meals and made wonderful cakes and biscuits which all the family loved and kept the garden looking beautiful. This house is not a home without you in it. Rest in Peace my Darling.

We hope that you find this tribute to Janet a place of comfort, support and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
