I’M FREE Don t grieve for me, for now I m free I m following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks undone must stay that away. I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah, yes these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life s been full, Iv e savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, don t lenghten it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me God wanted me now: He set me free.

Julie and family, so sorry to read about your mom. She was a very kind and caring woman. I know my mom enjoyed having her as a neighbor at the Longview condos back a few years. Prayers to you all. Cherie Dinsmore-Brown.
I’m so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing!! I knew you all loved her and she loved you!! She always talked highly of her children! I feel so fortunate to have gotten to know Janeen for just that short time!! She was a blessing to me!!!
In 1971 Janeen became my secretary at Culligan. What a pleasure it was to work with her. She was a “keeper”! Rest in peace Janeen; you have earned it.
Janeen was one of the warmest and loving people i’ve ever known. She gave me a shoulder to cry on and helped me through some very rough times. She will live forever in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with family and friends. May God Bless you all.
So sorry for your loss. She was a very sweet lady. There will be a big family reunion on the other side. My mother Jane Skinner Laughrey passed last March.
Janeen and Bud were the greatest neighbors one could have. I will miss seeing her beautiful smile when visiting her. I wanted to be at jer funeral but we were in Washington at the time.
