For Janet's family: My relationship with Janet was on campus at Southwestern College, where she always presented smiles and a cheerful personality. This was a
wonderful way to make everyone's day full of a positive spirit. She was missed, and my deep condolences go out to her family.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jan at SWC.
She was such a wonderful person and so much fun to be around. She was so beautiful when she smiled.
My deepest sympathy goes to her family.

To my dear friend Jan...We shared a lot of memories as co-workers and friends. I will always cherish our good and bad times together. I'm afraid I took you for granted that you were always going to be here, even though we were apart. You had ESP working...I felt your thoughts these past few months and thought of you often.
You are truly a wonderful person inside and out. Your son and family you leave behind will be fine because they knew how much they were loved by you. You can finally rest and be with Bob who's watched over you all these years.
I selfishly miss you, but I know you now have eternal peace and happiness.

Dearest family it was with such great sorrow I heard about my dear friend Jan. I worked with Jan at Southwestern College which was such a pleasure to be around such a positive and energetic person, her personality and sense of humor knew no bounds. My fondest memories are when campus would hold it's annual holloween decorating contests, without fail Jan and her group came out the big winners and we always looked forward to see what they were going to create. What topped it off was her "personalized" costumes... she made the best wicked witch from the green makeup to the crackle laughter. I will miss her so very much but am consoled that she and Bob are now united in happiness and health
My sincerest sympathy and prayers, Mich?le Dawson

Despite her physical burdens, Janet was a ray of shining hope and quiet grace to those of us who were fortunate to have cared for her during her hospitalizations over the years. May she find the peaceful rest in her final sleep that was so elusive to her in life.
