Because of your loss, my heart is broken for you. But for your mother, l thank God that there is therefore now no more suffering for her. She has a new body in Christ Jesus. Amen.
You will miss her and think of her daily. In time you will understand more and more what it means to be a parent. You will also understand the magnitude of what it means to have a mother.

I have known Janet since 1979 we worked at St Anthony’s Hospital as Nurses aides then as RNs at Select Speciality Hospital . We were both Christians always giving God the glory for the many blessings he has given us. Janet always talked about her grandkids. It started out she wished she had some next thing you know every time I talk to her somebody was having a baby. She also talked about how supportive her husband was and how much she loved him for it. Always positive , never negative and I will cherish our friendship.
I would love to send my deepest condolences to the whole family may God’s Light burn in our hearts the memories of peaches and her bright smile that could light up a room my she sore with the angles until we meet again rest in heaven
Joshua,

I just found out today about the homegoing of Janet Ausberry . The Ausberry family was one of my best families, that I had come in contact with during my teaching journey for the Columbus Schools. I had the pleasure of teaching Jahni’ and Joshua. I so enjoyed working with both of them. Not to take anything from Jahni who was a very studious student and was self driven. But my most student that I was so proud of was Joshua. He worked with such diligent help to be successful in becoming a wonderful student. Janet and David were right there to be a part of his success. I tried to keep up with the family after each of the two children left their First Grade years. My heart is heavy today because we have lost a driven mother as well. She spent her time in the classroom with her children and still accomplished perfection in her Profession. To all of the family stay strong, especially you Joshua. We will miss her. She knew throughout her illnesses, where her final home would be. She stayed encouraged and strong through all her trials. So you do the same because you will see her in Glory in Heaven. God Bless you all. I hope you will get this message.
