Dear Martens Family; It breaks our hearts when death separates us from the ones we love so much. We are reminded in the Bible that God sees our pain and grief and has promised that soon death will be no more.(Revelation 21:4) He will heal our broken hearts by resurrecting our precious loved ones to life again.(John 5:28,29) I hope in the days ahead as you reflect on Janet's life, and the beautiful memories left behind, that you will also find comfort in God's promises to us for the near future. I am so sorry for your loss.

I worked with Janet in the UWP Karrmann Library and enjoyed knowing her. I was out of state when her funeral was, so did not get to attend. I wanted to express my sorrow at her passing and to let her family know that she will be fondly remembered by many.
