I have only known Janet for about 8 months, since my mother was moved in to Medical Lodges. But Janet was one of my favorite people there. She was always so kind and happy. Whenever anyone would come in with music and sing, Janet would always say, "That was really nice." Or, "Thank you that was beautiful." I loved playing music for her. Whenever I went to visit my mom, I would look for Janet. She will be greatly missed.

Laurie and Jeffy, I was saddened to hear of Janet's passing. Janet was always one of the bright spots of the home. She and Lynn were a regular comedy team. Janet had a wonderful sense of humor, and will be missed and remembered by all who knew her.

While visiting my mother at Medicalodge for almost five years - I had the honor to meet and talk to Janet many times. Janet was so intelligent and positive. I figured she had lead a full and accomplished life. I am so sorry to hear about her passing. I will miss her.

Janet was my sorority sister, and love Delta Gamma, especially her sister's. MY memory: Janet would give me two looks when I was doing something stupid (usually with Anne Rouse). Her first look was you are hilarious and crack me out, but her second look was knock it off now! I so needed her correction, thanks you Janet! Praying for the family today. In the bonds.
