Janet was an identical twin and also my friend since I was 9 years old , we met in junior school,
Janet had 2 Sisters, one being her twin Jill, the other Sandra (RIP) was a year older.
We always hung around with each other, we grew up and did all the usual girlie things, we were
always together and were even mistaken by many for sisters, we used to get into all sorts of
mischief and were classed as "Bad Girls" we werent we just loved life and lived it to the max out
partying and whatever else.
We had our Sons 6 months apart,lived close to each other and saw one another every day, we did our
shopping together, we would re arrange our houses so they looked similar, unintentionally at that,
where ever Janet was I wasnt far away and vice versa.
In early 1994 Janet was to go into a woman`s aid refuge, she was sent to another town for her
safety, it was whilst there that she died, she and many other women had been out on the roof of the
womens refuge one hot sunny afternoon in late April , they had a water fight so the roof got wet, as
they were playing Janet noticed one of the womens little girl was too close to the edge so she
grabbed hold of her turned and gave the child to her mother, and in doing so she lost her own
footing and toppled over the low rail on the roof and fell 40 feet to her death, 2 Doctors were
passing by at the time , they rushed to Janets side in the hope of being able to help her, but Janet
had landed in such a way that as she hit the ground her head hit the pavement and her body flipped
over breaking her neck, Janet was rushed to Hospital but died an hour later.
Its been some 14 years but I still miss Janet so very much I feel as if a part of myself died with
her that day, I have often times dreamed about Janet, and still shed a tear to this day for my Best
Friend, Janet wherever you are if you can read this know that I miss you so very much.
Rest In Peace my Friend Love Marianne.
Janet died saving a childs life the ultimate selfless act.
Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett
"Happy Birthday Janet"
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?
Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.
Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.
The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.
No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Friend of yours.
15 years and I still miss you so much
Janet
Its been 15 years since you were called away
yet at times it seems just like yesterday
I can still see you and hear you laughing,
and dancing for all you were worth
why did God take you away from Earth
I know you were tired, weary and forlorn
I also know you had hurt so much
since the day you were born
you felt persecuted for being one of two
but your twin Jill wasnt a patch on you,
You were special you were real you were unique
you were good too Jill shouldve gone not you.
I know others agree with my thoughts
that the wrong twin died that day
and I hope God can forgive me for what I say
You should still be here you should not be gone
however in my heart your memory will live on..
still missing you just as much after all these years
Your Best Friend Marianne.

Death is nothing at all..
Death is nothing at all...
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you...
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household
word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the shadow of a ghost on it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolutely unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well....
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
Canon Henry Scott-Holland, 1847-1918,
Canon of St Paul's Cathedral London UK

but those who care and
share your loss wish you
comfort and peace of mind.
May you find strength
in the love of family
