Condolences
The family of Janet Ozelle Tantow has received the following condolences.
Larry and family. We were your neighbors in Randall when you were the Pastor at Elim. We had our first child, our Anna in July of 1982 and we were with you in your backyard on her first Fourth of July in 1973.
Janet was my first experience with a Pastors wife that poured into my life even though we did not attend her church. She was a Christian first and Pastors wife fourth. She was an example of a wife and mother.
That little Anna is now the wife of a Pastor serving in New England (an unreached area for the Gospel). Grace and Peace to you. I hope you remember your neighbors from long ago.
Deb Mortvedt, Wilton NH
To All of Janet's Family and Friends--
Janet was a Wonderful Christian Lady who shared her love for the Lord with everyone she met and knew. She always had a smile along with words of encouragement and support.
Janet was a Great Friend, and she "radiated Love" whether you were with her or visiting with her on the telephone. Though we miss her, we are happy that she is now free of pain
and is with our Lord. I feel Blest to have known her and been her friend!
