I think of you often. R.I.P. my sweet friend.

I met Janet through a mutual friend who worked for her and the SCA at the Renaissance Festival back in 1991. Janet kept her flock in line, but wasn't too stern about it. Fun times, and through Janet's SCA/Renaissace Festival work, I met quite a few friends and those friendships have endured throughout the years. Thank you, Janet, and may you rest in peace. We'll miss you.

It was about 20 or so years ago that the Elf introduced me to the SCA and Janet and the Renaissance program. At first I was a little hesitant about working and enjoying the SCA because of my Texas accent. But Janet made me feel comfortable and part of an extended family. She encouraged me to have fun with it and spread the joy. She had established such a great reputation for the SCA at TRF that it lasted for many years. I will remember that it was her that allowed me to participate and a great program.
She will be greatly missed in this realm.

Janet always had a wonderful spirit and I loved seeing her every year at T.R.F. Generous, funny and kind, I know that many more will miss her presence. I am very glad I've had the opportunity to know her and appreciate her.

Janet was one of the first people I met outside of Bonwicke and made a great impression on me as to what a Lady could do in the SCA if she set her mind to it. My husband often speaks of time he spent with her and Tel while he lived in the Houston area.

I did not get to know Lady Janet nearly as well as I would have liked. You always think there will be plenty of time.
I first met her when I came down to the Houston area to be authorized to ride in SCA events. She was always kind, friendly and helpful. I have a picture of her with one of the horses in full gear. I think of it whenever I think of her.
She was a very special Lady and will be sorely missed.

Janet was one of the first, if not the first, women fighters I met when I joined the SCA 28 years ago. I loved learning from her, whether it be SCA history or a new skill. We spent hours at RenFaire talking and visiting, as we also did at many events. As others have said, I can't think of TRF without seeing her face.
When the King raised a toast to "absent friends" last night at the feast, I burst into tears. She will be missed. Hopefully she has located our other absent friends and they are all sitting around a fire swapping stories again.

I have fond memories of Janet and I growing up in Nassau Bay. We shared some great times being raised so close to NASA and all of the early space missions. Janet was a special friend and 1971 classmate.
She was always so cheerful and positive about her live and loved what she had chosen as her career.
My sympathy goes out to your family on Janet's passing.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Janet held a special place in our hearts. When I think of her the first image I have is that special smile she had. She was the first person to talk to me about the SCA at TRF over 20 years ago. When my husband and I talk about TRF she is always there in the conversation as she was an important part of our memories there. She will be sorely missed by one and all.

I can't imagine the SCA without Janet. She was one of the first to welcome me when I moved here. She was always so kind yet managed to keep me in line and helped me in so many ways. Without her and Buttercup, I never would have learned to ride. I will miss her.

Janet was one of the earliest people I met in the SCA. She was very kind to me then and always made time to say hi and chat. I will miss her. Her dedication to the SCA and it's community is profound. My thoughts are with her family and close friends during this time. I will always remember her many kindnesses to me.

James and Mr. & Mrs. Smith,
Janet always had useful and helpful advice for any subject an SCA newcomer needed help with.
Through tireless toil, she brought "the SCA dream" to fruition.
We appreciate all of her accomplishments and fostering inspiration in us.
May our memories of Janet's living each day to the fullest, bring us comfort and peace.
Sharing your sorrow,

I heard late that Lady Janet had passed and was surprised to say the least. All I could think of was how cheerful she was and how she had looked the last time I had seen her. I will miss her of her optimistic outlook and her levelheaded advice on all things be they historical costuming or not.
Wind to your wing Janet, wherever you fly.

There are so many memories of Janet, I don't know where to start. Over 20 years ago, Janet held programs for my newcomer household in the SCA, where I began my adventures in the historical organization. She was always quick and ready for a story or explanation to help us 'newbies' figure this 'game' out.
I purchased some of my first garb from Telbryne (James) and Janet's House Morningstar business and the quality is so good, I have those clothes still today.
Having had the honor to work with Janet on her TRF crews, I got to know what a hard working and diligent person she was, never resting, always ready to deal with whatever came up.
Janet's ready smile and curly dark hair will ever be present in my mind whenever I think of TRF, and she will be greatly missed. It just won't be the same without her.
May she travel well in the next realm and I'm sure she's already hard at work on her new mansion, and enjoying the company of friends gone ahead.
Many prayers to those she's left behind.

Janet helped my husband make his first armor, and thereby helped set his feet on the path to knighthood. We shared so many memories. I am so glad that she got to meet my grandchildren before she passed. She was hardworking and kind hearted and I will miss her. When we raise a toast to absent friends, she will be named in our hearts. Fare well, my friend. Peace and grace and love be yours.

Janet will truly be missed in my world. She was always full of life and hope. An example of how to roll ahead even after the worst problems. I envision her sitting in her cloud easy chair with so many other absent friends and they are having a wonderful time watching all of us. Sail on, and I hope I will see you again in the adventure that comes next!

Janet was an old friend of mine from T.R.F. She always helped me when I needed something. She helped design and build the Royal Mint and the S.C.A. compound at T.R.F., both of which still stand. I'll miss her greatly. My section of T.R.F. won't be the same without her.
God speed and fare thee well.
Love, Alan

To the loving family of Janet' Smith Bozarth
Knowing James-Telbryne & Janet' of House Morningstar for over 3 decades has been one of the highlights of our family's SCA experiences. We are very thankful for many miles traveled together.
We are grateful that fibers of your House Morningstar are woven into the tapestries in our House Mountain-Gate.
We shall think of Janet's twinkle eyes and bright smile always displayed while she found such joy in sharing of her knowledge, her talents, relating a tale, or learning something new herself... or her laughter whether she wielded a construction tool or a warrior's weapon. We shall not forget the "Golden Shield Wall" tabards. We shall not forget Janet' teaching how to make almond-milk. We shall not forget Janet' photographing our children. We shall not forget how, through TxRenFaires, with Janet' as the liason, many Ansteorran groups came to fruition. Janet' has impacted countless people interested in reenacting many different aspects of history.
We are saddened by Janet's sudden passing. A few brief words here could not adequately impart the messages from our hearts.
May you be able to have willful, joyful recall to ease your pain. Please accept deepest sympathy,
from your neighbors and friends to your east at the river border,
Simonn & Tessa & Zane; Ben & Liz

I first met Janet 30 years ago when I was 15 working at the TX Rennaisance festival. I had no idea, but she and her husband James were really looking out for each of us kids. I went out to dinner one night and I never thought to tell them that I went (there were so many of us working there, and I was only one person.) I never heard the end of that! LOL. Even last year when I walked up to their booth at fair for my yearly visit, they said (as usual) "Elizabeth....THERE you are!" Hysterical!
I have had many nice visits with Janet, she always had a good story to tell. She will be greatly missed!
My heart goes out to her family members, especially my friend James. I hope you are all feeling better soon!
