TEN YEARS SINCE WE WERE SO SAD WITH JANET LEAVING US ON EARTH SO STUNNED! I feel she is still being very creative, organized and bringing joy to those spirits around her in heaven. Donna & I often remark our beloved husbands are being watched over & guided in the heavenly kingdom by dear Janet. How we miss all those fun characterisitics & sincere gestures of love she spread among us on earth. Certainly God had good plans for her & I am sure is she's wearing a crown that shines as bright as her lovely smile! I miss you sweet one! Betty-in-the-corner with & hugs

What a tribute that service was today in Janet's honor and memory. My heart wanted to say so much of our dear Janie -from the first time I remember seeing those beautiful brown eyes - all six of them in the neighborhood and then the doorbell ringing asking to see our baby. It was love at first sight - me with those "kids". How special they became as well as the parents...know we are here if you need to talk, laugh or cry together or any help. She will be always so, so special in our hearts, as all of you are. Love Betty-in-the-corner & Fred

Jack, Donna, Linda and Jim. I am so saddened to hear of Janet's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Growing up you were like my family and I will always remember how I could call Janet and ask her how to cook like Meatloaf and how long do I cook noodles. She would tell me to throw the noodle on the wall and if it stuck it was ready. I hope whomever bought the Edmonds house was able to get those noodles off the wall... She always made me laugh and had the best laugh ever... She will be missed... With much love for you all...

Janet's "can do" attitude and ever present smile were an inspiration and could always brighten my day. She will be greatly missed by her family and church family alike.

Janet,I will miss working on your quilt with you. Also I will always remember the triathlon we did together. Who will put chocolate on the pillows at the women's retreat?

My Friend and my confidant. My heart hurts.... We just went to dinner a couple of weeks ago. I'm speechless.... Matt and Spencer you were both the bright, shinning twinkle in your Auntie's eyes.
