Janet Varner. Friend, missionary colleague, a woman whose heart beat for Central Africans, a person who could tell a story with a flair to make you laugh yourself silly, a follower of Jesus, and a warm, welcoming soul who was always there to help.
Many were the times we spent time in Janet’s home as we passed through Bangui. Many were the times she helped us with financial transactions and housing dilemmas. Many were the stories heard and books loaned. Many are the memories that we will always treasure. We will carry Janet in our hearts and grieve her absence, but we rejoice that she is with her God and king whom she faithfully served for many, many years.
Peace to her memory.
