Janet was always so funny and had the voice of an angel..I can remember many times hearing her sing Do you believe in life after love..by Cher...she would give me chills! I hadn't seen Janet for a long time and just learned of her passing today. My thoughts and prayers to her family and friends. May God watch over you all during this time of loss.

To Janet's family and friends,
I just learned of Janet's passing today. I haven't seen Janet in about a year so I was very shocked to hear she passed. She was one of my customers and considered her a friend. My prayers are with you all.
God loves you and cares for you,
