I have known Janelle since our days at Vallejo Jr. High and Vallejo High. I was sorry to hear of her passing and of her health struggles. She was always so nice to others, so I am glad to know that others supported her courage through her illnesses. Condolences to her family for their loss.

Janelle was one of the bravest individuals I have ever known. For years she suffered with her many medical issues but tried to carry on with a smile on her face. She is a true inspiration to us all. Janelle rest in peace with our loving Savior and we will see each other very soon. Fondly, Carol Kilby
