I will miss Aunt Janet, I could always count on Aunt Janet to keep me updated on the Snyder family. I know I will see her again one day in heaven and she will be waiting with the other family members to welcome each one of us home.

Praying for you all as you go through this difficult time. Knowing that she is up in heaven will help ease the pain. May all the memories help you. Mrs. Hobba was a friend of my Grandma (Jane Wilkinson). It was always nice to visit with her. She had such a sweet spirit about her.

From all the Wilkinson Clan, Bill and family, Eileen, Mark, Beth out deepest sympathy to you all.

Bob and family,

I remember "Momma Hobba" as one of dearest Mom's in my growing up years. Her consistent smile and passive acceptance of our wild and crazy ideas made times together a lot of fun. She shook her head from time to time when all of us (Kibet, Hurdle, you and me) would be off on an adventure. My last connection to your Mom was a graduation at Art Park last summer. As usual, a warm hug and smile was shared with me and my family. My prayers go out to you at this loss. Your Mom was so very special to so many. God bless.

Janet was one of the best friends a person could ever hope to have. Her love of her family and her faith always come through in everything she did. I have wonderful memories of her and will think of her often, and cry that I can't just phone her and talk. I know she is in a better place with her Heavenly Father and she is watching over her family from Heaven. Don and I are praying for all of you in the difficult time, God give you strength.

Mrs. Hobba was very special. I loved all the summers we spent working together. She was a big part of all I am today. She will be missed. My thoughts and sympathy to your family.

Back in the day when I would watch some of your children, I always enjoyed your Moms, love for Jesus and her family, her sense of humor and her wisdom! I hadn't seem her of late. But there would be times I would pass by somewhere or remember a time and always had fond memories of her! She will be missed! But she is singing and dancing with Jesus! What could be better than that for her?! Much Love and Prayer to you all! Sincerely, The Boltons
