I just learned of Janet's passing and want to extend my sincerest sympathy to Bob and the rest of her family. I worked with Janet at Cato several years ago and she was always such a pleasure to work with. I learned a lot from her and will always remember her fondly.

I've known Janet for 47 years, in and out of touch over that expanse of time, but have always held a special place in my heart for her. I, like many, am saddened by the loss of this great person. My best to her family and other friends.

I am deeply sadden to hear of the passing of Janet Blevins Mayer. I have known Janet for over 30+ years and she was always such a kind, bubbly, cheerful person. I know her for her of love of her husband Bob and her family. I have also had the honor of spending many great weekends with Janet, Bob and her family at Nascar races all over the southeast. Janet you will be greatly missed and I am a better person for knowing you!!!

Where do I begin, when Janet came in for her appointments she was always upbeat, kind of like a school girl. I thought she was so pretty, yet grateful for her journey. I remember when she turned 60 she was over the moon with joy, she shared her feelings about such in a journal, and shared them with the office staff. I would comment on a beautiful piece of jewelry she would be wearing and the next office visit she would bring me in the same piece I had admired so much. She was so thoughtful and giving of herself, and I'm sure her
presence on this earth will be greatly missed.
Rest well, Janet it has been an absolute pleasure.

Everyone who ever knew Janet feels a hollow place in their heart. She certainly touched many lives and hopefully we can live better for knowing her and being inspired by her and hold all the sweet memories in our hearts. My heart goes out to her beloved family that she simply adored.
