Janet was one of the most caring, loving and cheerful women I have ever known. I loved hearing about her family and looking at pictures of them with her. She was so very proud of every one of you. What a wonderful roll model she was. I will miss her more than words can express. I also enjoyed Gary's stories of the camping trips that Richard mentioned. I'm so proud to say I was a member of her "family". Barbara Mickelson

I have so many fond memories of family get togethers when we were young. The trips to Alta Lake were always fun. Janet was never one to be quiet if Kenneth and Mike were goofing off in the lounge chairs drinking beer. Your Mom always had a smile and a kind word for all of us. We were so pleased to get to have several conversations with her a family events recently. Kathleen and I will be in town for the memorial. Richard & Kathleen Mickelson

Grams, we miss you so much! You were such a huge part of our lives and brought joy and laughter to everyone! You truly accepted all into our family. Some of my best childhood memories were spent at your home with you and my cousins dressing up in your nightgowns and putting on shows for you and Gramps. You were the best back scratcher ever! I love you with all my heart!
