Dear Goodwin Family,



I just heard about Jan and I wanted you all to know how sorry I am. My husband has MS and we had some very good talks about living with MS. She was a wonderful person. I will be thinking of your family.



Love,

Dear Goodwin Family,

I knew Jan from the Mother's of Multiples group. We all had multiples and shared the joys and triumphs of raising our children. The MOMs picnics every summer, where we celebrated with our entire families, are some of my sweetest memories. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

I remember Jan/your Mom as the proud mother of two beautiful twin baby girls. We shared lots of laughs.



My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.



Much love,

FRIENDSHIP IS...

SOMEONE WHO IS CONCERNED WITH EVERYTHING YOU DO..SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS WHATEVER YOU DO..SOMEONE WHO TELLS YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT YOURSELF..SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH AT ALL TIMES..

JANET WAS THAT PERSON.

We are so deeply saddened that you have lost Jan. She was such a dear and cheerful mother and wife and so very proud of all of you. You must miss her so very much. As the days go by, remember that she is with you, and, when you need her, just look out the corner of your eye and she will be there to counsel, guide, and support you.



You are in our hearts and prayers. We send you our deepest sympathy.



As ever, Tom and Barbara
