Janet was a ’57 classmate and friend at Murphy High School. I have seen her at class reunions over the many years since we graduated. I am so very sad to learn of her passing. Please accept my deepest sympathy now and in the days ahead. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless and comfort you.
We are so sorry to receive the news about Janet. And we’re really sorry that we won’t be able to drive down for her services. As I mentioned on the phone, I have a heart procedure scheduled in Nashville on Wednesday, or we would be there for you. At least we were blessed to have seen you and Janet at Ronnie’s funeral last year. Perry, I did get in touch with Eddie George and he was sorry to hear about Janet. He sends his sympathies and will let Carolyn know. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
I am sending my prayers to all in your family. God bless you, David and Beth.
Dear Sheppard Family,
I had the pleasure of being one of Mrs. Sheppard’s radiation therapist during her cancer treatments. She was such a delight and a joy to us everyday she came. She never complained and always had a smile on her face. My favorite memory of her was her telling me to ” have fun, and don’t get caught!” I loved every moment of my time with Mrs. Sheppard, and I am sure she will be missed.
Love Rachel
