Janet was my neighbor. In reading all these lovely memories of her, I think the word "feisty" is a good description. She definitely always had a smile on her face and loved to laugh. She was so sweet and quick-witted. We hold her in our hearts and will definitely miss her kind, loving soul. Rest in Peace, dear lady.

If you were fortunate enough to know Janet, then you knew the true meaning of friendship, generosity, selflessness, faith, humor, and kindness. Janet was everyone's friend. She was kind to everyone she met. She was fun to be with, and always had something nice to say to everyone. She rarely complained, and was always looking for little things to brighten other people's day. She could be funny just at the right moment, serious when you needed her to be, helpful to someone having difficulty, but never boastful. She loved simple things like card games or a small gathering of friends. She made sure people could access what they found important, whether it was a ride to church, the grocery store, a doctor, or just a visit from a friend. She loved dogs and they loved her. She was kind no matter how challenging a person or situation was. She was always grateful to others, and accepted everyone into her circle. I know she will be missed as part of our family, and that the imprint she left on this world will not be easily forgotten.

Janet was a sweet, generous, and kind soul who was always willing to lend a hand when ever she could. She saw the good in others and appreciated being included in our family. Her love of little dogs made them welcome visitors where ever she was. May she always be remembered for her positive ways, chuckle and smile. I know she is missed by many.

She loved Manischewitz Cream White Concord. We would bring her a bottle it would put a big smile on her face.

It was the last time I was able to go on vacation to see my Aunt Janet. We had so much fun while we were together. I love her and miss her so very much.

Janet was my God mother and favorite aunt. I didn't get to see her very much because we moved to Michigan when I was 2, but she always sent me cards and wrote me letters. I loved when we got to visit. We would usually go shopping and out to eat. What little girl doesn't love that! The last time she came to Michigan she brought Molly who was just a puppy, she kept us all very busy playing fetch! We also played a lot of cards and Yatzy! Aunt Janet was the most loving and generous person I've known. I wish I got to see her more. She will be truly missed. I know she is having a grand reunion with her sisters! I miss them all! I love you aunt Janet! God bless!

Aunt Janet Was A Loving And Giving Person! She Would Give The Shirt Off Her Back If Someone Needed It. She Liked To Have Fun, And Be Mischievous; Especially With Her Sisters. She Called Us One Night, When Her Brother Don And Sister Janice Were In Town Saying They Were Coming For Breakfast The Next Morning! My Mom Was Just Home From Work. While She Was Eating Her Dinner She Realized What All Needed To Be Done! I Told Her I Would Handle It, NOT To Worry! I Stayed Up The Whole Night Clearing The Dining Room Table Of Laundry That Needed To Be Folded And Put Away. I Cleared It, Washed It Well, Put A Clean Table Cloth On And Set The Table For Breakfast. I Made The Bacon, Some Fresh Baked Rolls, And Had The Coffee Ready To Go! Then I Headed To Bed At 7:00 A.M. Everybody Was Shocked When They Seen All That I Had Prepared And Readied For Them! It Was The Last Time My Mom Carol, Aunt Janet, Aunt Janice, Uncle Don, And Grandma Were Together! It Was Meant To Be! I Am So Very Glad I Could Do It For Them! Janet Was So Very Happy That It Turned Out So Well! She Is Now Together Again With Them All. I Will Miss Her Smile And Loving Laugh! Until We Meet Again, May GOD Hold You In The Small Of His Hand! Love You Always!
