Janet

My sweet mother in law, Janet, went to be with Jesus this morning peacefully in her sleep after a courageous battle with Ovarian cancer. While our family is filled with tremendous grief we also have a peace knowing that she is rejoicing in the Lord's throne room right this very minute.

We wanted to let everyone know that the arrangements have been finalized for Janet's funeral.

The visitation will be Sunday night (12/29) from 4-7 pm and the funeral will be Monday (12/30) at 10 am. Both are being held at First Baptist Church in Bentonville at 200 SW "A" Street, Bentonville, AR 72712

For our out of town friends and family, arrangements have been made at the TownePlace Suites in Bentonville for a rate of $59/night good for Friday through Monday nights. To reserve a room at this rate please contact them at 479-621-0202 and let them know you are wanting to reserve a room for Janet Pate's funeral for the rate of $59. Their address is 3100 SE 14th St, Bentonville, AR 72712.

In lieu of flowers we are strongly encouraging support towards Janet's Memorial Fund. This fund will continue her legacy of investing in student's lives and her desire for them to know and serve The Lord.

The donations received to this memorial will be designated for the youth ministry of FBC Bentonville where Janet served for the last 12 years.  The gifts will be used to scholarship students desiring to attend church camp and will also be used for future student ministry building expansion.

If you'd like to donate money you can mail your donation to :

First Baptist Church Bentonville
220 South Main Street
Bentonville, AR 72712

And please make sure to put in the memo line "Janet's Memorial Fund"

Thank you again for the tremendous outpouring of support and love for our family during this difficult time.
