Janice, Barb, and Griffin,
I just read the news about Janet.I met her when she worked at Hooks while I was working next door at Hair Cuts Plus.I did your mom's hair for years and was sorry to hear of her passing today as well. I know how much she loves all of you, and how special she was to you too. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Griffin there was NO other person in this world who mean't more to your mom than you. You were the sparkle in her eyes, and the light of her heart. May God be...

Every morning, Tuesday through Friday, I would be so grateful to see Janice pull up to DayDreams with Janet in the car, ready to start her day with her babies. It's hard for me to remember DayDreams before her - it seems like she has always been there. Not only was she amazing with the children, she was also there for all of the staff. We all felt comfortable sharing our lives with Janet, and having her share hers with us. She had such a love of her family. Griffin, you should have seen...

Barb and family,

I only knew Janet through Barb and her family. My family spent many summers at the lake with them. Janet was a great person.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.

In Loving Memory of Ms. Janet,
We enjoyed every minute that we spent with you. You were such a wonderful person you meant so much to us. You cared for and loved everyone with all of your heart. I don't think that I could ever re-pay you for all of the love that you gave my children especially Kamarea. I remember when I had to come in on my days off so that you could give Kamarea her medication because she wouldn't take it for anyone else and how excited you were just last thursday that...

To The Gardner Family,
My husband and I were deeply saddened to hear of Janet’s death. She was a very important part of our little grandson’s life and he will surely miss her very much. Janet began taking care of Henry when he was just four months old and for over two years was a loving caregiver and more. We will always be thankful for the time he had with her.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. We will miss Janet so much. I can remember the first time I met Janet at Daydreams rocking my son Aaron in her arms. A sense of security would come over you knowing she was caring for your child. On days that I would go to pick up Aaron I would look forward to talking with her and hearing about how Aaron's day was. She was truly an Angel sent to care for all of our babies, and our babies will all miss “My Janet”, as Aaron would say.

She always...

Janet was one of those type of people no matter when or where you could always go to her and vent. Heaven knows she got an earfull from me this past year. She meant the world to so many of us and always will. I know these next few weeks and months will be very hard, and if anyone needs anything just let me know. If not me then just let Amanda know. Your ALL in my thoughts and prayers.

Words could never fully express everything Janet meant to our family and especially our son, Henry. Henry loved Janet so much and the best part for Doug & I was that he knew how much Janet truly loved him back. He was her "Henry Higgins". I have never regretted going back to work after having Henry because we knew he was always under Janet's protective & loving eye. I will always cherish the notes & cards from Janet that were filled with support & love. She was such a kind, loving &...
