  4. My sincere condolences to Mr. Bethune and family in the loss of your loved one Mrs. Janet Bethune.
    I met Mrs. Janet twelve years ago when I started working at Imperial Drycleaners. She always admired my hairstyle. We always complimented each other on our hair. She will definitely be missed.
    May God grant you all peace and comfort. Treasure the memories you all have made with her.

  13. Felicia and I are heartbroken to learn of sweet, sweet Janets passing. She was one of the absolute most genuine and kind people I have ever met. We pray for Dick, Richard and Caroline and the grandchildren.

    It is difficult to explain the feeling when we would see Janet after a long separation and her face would light up with the love she had for all her friends. We have had some wonderful times with Dick and Janet with kids and without. She will be missed, especially by us.

    John and Felicia Merritt
