Janet will be remembered as a lady with many talents. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was kind to all. She loved to read, to talk, and to pray. As a friend, I am saddened by her loss, but I am confident that she is with Jesus and our Blessed Mother…and John. She is free to be happy and whole again!
My deepest sympathy goes out to the Blazes family in the loss of their mother, grandmother and my closest friend. She loved all of you very much. We will all miss her. Sally
Dear Blazes family, I am so sorry to hear of your Moms passing. I remember spending time with her in Plymouth. She had a great sense of humor and love for life. It was a blessing to have known her. God Bless your family, Love Emma, Melissa and Amanda
Throughout my twenty five year plus friendship with Janet, I have watched how God has patiently drawn her to Him.
It was very clear to me that along the way God had placed wonderful friends in Janet’s life that pointed the way for her and helped her to be tranformed into a soul full of life, love and joy. She truely had many angels in her life’s journey.
Janet accepted the simplicity of God’s love and forgiveness and transferred it to everyone that she knew. She was a true friend and a joy to be with. She was a constant reminder to me that God is always with us and he sends his angels to guide and watch over us.
My prayer for her is the hope that, through her suffering here on Earth, Almighty God has purified her and has opened His arms wide to invite her into His heavenly kingdom and give her eternal happiness with the Blessed Mother, the Saints and His angels.
I am surely going to miss my friend Janet Blazes and I feel blessed to have had her in my life. I am grateful for those who have helped her during her illness and comforted her with kindness, love and friendship.
I love you Janet, rest in peace.
