I just spoke to her apartment manager. She told how special Janelle. About 4 months ago there was a fire at the complex. It displaced 8 apartments, 4 lost everything. Janelle, who was sick at the time, asked what she could do. So she took on the job of coordinating donations. And, says her dear manager, she was the ONLY resident to come forward.
For those of you who don't know, Janelle moved from Detroit to Owosso about 2 years ago to be near her grandchildren, now ages 4 and 6 I believe. She left the wonderful medical care she was getting at the U. of Michigan. But her family was more important.
She also helped start our first Chat session here along with me and Mary. She said, "I've never done something like this, but I'll try." That, too, was Janelle. She would always pitch in where needed.
This disease destroys our bodies, but as evidenced by Janelle, not our spirits.
Her Memorial Service is Thursday eve. at 7 p.m. at the 1st Church of the Nazarene. I'll get her son's address as soon as possible.
Love and light to all, here and above,
Lisa
