I knew janet from right out of high school. She was such a beautiful person. She loved helping others. Her main love in life were her children. They were the world to her. She went through a lot for them. There was a lot of love in Janet. She will be missed by all who have known her and even those she just barely touched. Her spirit was strong. She is at peace with heavenly father now and watching over all she knew. the sun will always be the light in her eyes, the whisper of the wind is her voice, the rain are the tears in her eyes both happy and sad. Life is too short , so embrace each day to the fullest. She loved her family so. I am so thankful that she had Dick in her life. She finally met her soul mate and knew complete happiness. Rest in peace Janet. Though taken from us way too soon, your memory will carry on in our hearts forever. To a beautiful angel "Janet". Love Debby Mosher
