The world has lost a beautiful person today, our neighbor and friend Janey has lost her courageous battle with cancer. Brad and I closed on our newly constructed house the same day as Brian and Janey, so we have known them for almost 7 years now. They have been nothing but great people, friends and neighbors. Janey was a hair stylist and my boys had the privilege to have gotten their first haircut from Ms Janey. The boys love her and she loved them. Every time we would pull into the driveway and either Brian or Janey were outside both boys would run over to them as soon as they got out. I remember the day, which was about 2 years ago that we got the grim news that Janey had found a lump in her breast. She was only in her mid 40's. She was very optimistic and courageous with her battle, although the cancer would not give her any breaks, she would go on to get many tumors throughout her body until her body just could not take it anymore. We have her memorial on Wed, which will be very hard for all of us. Cheri and I went to HEB tonight to get food and drinks for Brian and his family. We can't do a lot at this point so we just hope to make his life a little easier right now. The hard part will be the day that Tyler asks where is Ms Janey?
We feel very privileged to have called Janey a friend and neighbor and now our Angel.
Please keep Brian and his family in your prayers as he goes through the toughest time in his life.

Courtney,
You could have not said it better. It was a privilege knowing Janey and she was a brave and beautiful person inside and out. I know the next couple of days are going to be hard on us all, but we will gather the strength to get through this and be there for Bryan and his family.
So sorry to hear about your neighbor/friend. That is very sad! I also wanted to tell you about a great book that we read to Ashton when Johnny's grandpa passed away. It is called What's Heaven, and it is by Maria Shriver. It was a great way to explain things to her.
