My deepest sympathy to the family of Janette.....I worked with her many years at the AJC and traveled with her on a business trip that left us with many fond memories and laughs. May God be with you in this time of sorrow. .

Janette was in incredible woman. She was so kind and full of spunk! I will miss the card games and margarittas. My heart goes out to her family.
