Condolence Janis Nippes
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.
We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we imagine that hour is placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun or that death could arrive this same afternoon, this afternoon which is so certain and which has every hour filled in advance. God himself took a day to rest in, and a good man's grave is his Sabbath.
As we look deeply within, we understand our perfect balance. There is no fear of the cycle of birth, life and death. For when you stand in the present moment, you are timeless. When you lose someone you love, you die too, and you wait around for your body to catch up. Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
We pray that you find comfort in the happy memories of Janis that you have.
Dace and Judy Watson
Janis you are the best and always will be the best
