I was saddened as I just found out but as I got to thinking she 's gonna have Thanksgiving in the heavenly realms and what a feast that will be. Many prayers and condolences for your family during this time of loss.

I wanted to drop you all a note and tell you that I was so sorry to learn of Janet's passing. (I just learned today.) Janet has been my neurologist since I moved to Murfreesboro in 2012. She always listened to me and encouraged me. She also helped talk me into trying a new medication that was a real life changer for me. She made a big difference in a lot of folks' lives. I am sure you already know that but I wanted to tell you another time.
Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

Janet was a WONDERFUL Nurse and a patient advocate. I was her patient for several years ,and she always addressed my concerns. She helped me deal with my migraines. I will surely miss her contagious smile and how much she cared for her patients. I remember how much time she spent with me when my father passed and I was arguing with my siblings over getting some of my dads ashes. She took the time to talk to me and help me work through my grief. No mater how busy she was she took her time helping me through my stress. I will very much miss her, and her sweet sweet demeanor.

Gerard, Pam and the entire Brown family,
Words can not express how heavy my heart is for you all. I wish that I could have known such an amazing woman. If she is anything like her brother, Gerard, you are all blessed to have had her for a sibling and a friend. May her memory sustain during this sad time and keep her close to your hearts. May she rest in peace and watch over all of you from her amazing new front row seat.

She was my neuro at MMC. Even with all I dealt with after my accident, she somehow managed to get a laugh out of me before each appointment was over. Janet was such a special lady, with a personality bigger than life. May she rest easy, as she is now healed. She will never be forgotten, nor will the time she compared me to the crooked little lady in the crooked little house. Anytime someone mentions it now, I think of her and I'm sure that will never change.

Janet was a speaker at some of the MS events I attended. She showed great concern for us and was always willing to answer questions even though we may not have been one of her patients. Her advocacy for people with MS defined her character to those who otherwise did not know her. She will be missed. Rest in peace, Janet.
