I just today learned of Janet's passing. I had no idea and am so incredibly saddened to have learned. To Janet's family and especially her sister Linda and most prince of a guy you would ever meet her husband Brian, you have my most sincere thoughts and memories. Janet was just an awesome sole and I will certainly miss the encounters, however infrequent. A wonderful family with a star role model. I am in shock and very sorry the family lost Janet at such a young age.

Last night I was shocked and saddened to hear the devastating news of Janet's passing. My heart goes out to you, Brian, Doris, Linda and family.

Having sent me on a better path, to this day her goodness remains a positive influence in my life. At the pie shop Janet made the cinnamon rolls, Ann made the pie crust and I cleaned the mess, loving every...

Brian,
Everyone here has expressed the same sentiment that's on my heart....That this is just so heartbreaking, that Janet was a wonderful, loving, kind soul,that she will be sorely missed and that our heart goes out to you and your family. But, I have to add this: After losing two siblings three months apart, you feel a loss that you just can't imagine is real. You will feel that emotion, too. After the service is over, some friends only call or come around sporadically, when you go...

DEAREST BRIAN AND FAMILY,
I WAS SO SORRY TO HEAR TODAY OF JANET'S PASSING. I WAS OUT OF TOWN WHEN JANET PASSED AND FOR THE FUNERAL. I'M AM DEEPLY SORRY THAT I WASN'T HERE IN WICHITA.
JANET WAS ALWAYS A WARM AND KIND PERSON. SHE WAS ALWAYS ENGAGING AND WELCOMING TO EVERYONE. WHEN LINDA AND I WERE YOUNG AND HANGING AROUND TOGETHER, I GOT TO SEE JANET AND BRIAN IN THEIR DATING YEARS. THEY WERE SUCH AN AWESOME COUPLE AND CONTINUED TO BE THROUGH THE YEARS. I ALWAYS ADMIRED JANET AND HER...
