We would like for all of Janelle's family to know that the CCSD Audiology Department was pleased and honored to know Janelle. For just a few weeks she came to us for her "Practicum". She was very quiet but you could feel the excitement and anticipation in her as she was to be completing her studies soon. We want to offer our heart-felt condolences to her entire family, especially her daughter Kylie. May you be comforted by the love that she had for all of you and all of the love you had for her. Sincerely,
Audiology Staff

Aunt Janelle,
I love you so much and I will miss you. You are an amazing aunt and you have done so much for so many people and you were a true blessing for all of us. It hurts to let you go, but God has a special plan and I am so thankful you were a part of it and in my life. I know you and Alexa will look over us. Rest peacefully. Love you forever. And to the rest of my family I love you guys and I wish I could be there. I am with you in spirit. Love you so much.

For reasons we don't understand, God called you home much too early in your life. The shining star that was once here on Earth, will now forever burn brightly in the Heavens above us. Your passing makes our hearts ache, but the gift of life that you have given others and the knowledge that you will be reunited with loved ones gone before you, will give us comfort in this time of grief. You will be forever missed by all of your family and friends. Rest in Peace Janelle.

My daughter is friend's with Kylie, Janelle's daughter. She told me this morning the sad news. My daughter had Mrs. Whalen as a substitute at David M. Cox Elementary several times and truly enjoyed her as a substitute. My heart goes out for Janelle's surviving loved ones. Children losing a mother at such a young age is heartbreaking.
