As her one and only niece, I am touched by her on a regular basis, I can close my eyes and hear her voice and see her jovial face looking at me, smiling about something that probably should not be repeated, heart felt sorrow is for the living, and I am certain that her spirit is looking down on us with a smile and a laugh on most days. I love and miss her, but am glad for the time we will always have as memories.

My mother,Janet-I thank her so much for all the ways she made an effort to keep in touch over the years. We enjoyed reading the Bible together over the phone and singing our favorite songs. I miss my dear mother more than words and I am thankful for how she has touched my life.

The past couple of months I became very close to Janet. I helped her sister Rose care for her. Because of her I have a closer relationship with God and I am going to be baptized this Sunday. She really touched my life like no one else has.

How I will dearly miss my beautiful sister. I am so glad I had the privilege to care for her the last couple months of her life. I loved her so much. I will greatly miss her.

We are first cousins of Janet Sue. When she lived in Hamilton we made contact with her after a long absence. We picked her up and spent the day with her talking about our parents who were siblings. We had a lot of laughs and enjoyed the day. She was a great person that we enjoyed reconnecting with. We had not realized that she had moved to California. We are so sorry to hear of her passing. Our love goes out to her family and friends.
Sadly missed by the Apgar siblings, Ken, Bill, Diane, Sonya and Sheila.
