"To the friends and family of Mrs. Ryder, We are truly sad for your loss. Our prayers and thoughts are frequent for those who suffer due to the anguish of losing a loved one. We all experience this loss but the Bible teaches that God shares your loss and your pain at Psalm 116:15. The scriptures brought us comfort when we've lost loved ones and I hope it helps at this most difficult time. Because those who pass on are precious in Gods eyes, He's provided the scriptures to give comfort but also show us his plan for those who have entered rest.

"Janet was so pleasant to talk to. She had such a beautiful smile and loved to talk about her family. We loved hearing her stories of Columbia, being new in America and her ability to recite recipes. We have many fond memories and she will be greatly missed. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. May your beautiful memories carry you all though. Love Tony, Debbie, Anthony and Anna"

"Janet was a beauty inside and out. She was a wonderful mom who loved her children and treated us neighborhood kids as her own, offering us her delicious paella and sharing her home with us! I know she will be missed by her family and friends and I wish you all the best! I'll remember "Mrs. Ryder" with love, recalling fun conversations with her on Sunday mornings at Madge's house for coffee. I'll also remember how much she loved her little dog Martini! "
