I worked with Janette many years ago in a doctor´s office. Janette was a dear friend while I worked there. We shared so many laughs and she invited Ed and I into her and Paul´s home different times. They were the best host and hostess! Always will treasure her smile and laughter, and efficiently! Blessed to know her whole family! Our most sincere condolences for their loss. What a great life she shared with so many!

May her memory be eternal
I remember may days and nights at the Echlin home when I was in junior high hanging out with Chriss and sometimes Linda and Judi. Mrs Echlin was always warm and inviting. God be with her family at this time.
