I trained with Janet.
Sorry to hear of her passing.
She was a girl on a mission;
work to do and not a lot of time to do get it all done.
We should have cloned her-the world would be in a better state of affairs.

I worked with Janet when she first came to the Richmond clinic. She was always so sweet, caring and gentle with a laugh that I will never forget because it always made me smile. I still remember sitting in her office talking about her chickens as I had them as well She gave me a book on Minnesota birds and I have it to this day with her signing a special message inside the front cover. Even though it's been years since I've seen her I will always remember the one thing I remember we would talk about the most, the jar on her desk that her husband made her full of memories. My heart is heavy and pray for her and her family that God grant them grace, peace and love. Rest now in heaven, Janet. Always your friend, Lynn Wulff (Nistler)

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Janet Jacobson. She took care of me for many years and always made me feel at ease and took the time to listen to me when I was in her office. She will truly be missed. Rest in peace Janet.
