I worked with Janet for several years at Clinton Memorial Hospital. She was always a hard worker and always made everyone around her feel better about everything. She was a very gracious and lovely Christian lady. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. I hope you can all find comfort in knowing she is in the hands of God now.
