She always made us laugh! She overcame a lot of things in her life. I appreciated her advice. Her experiences helped her to know the right advice and things to say. She will be greatly missed.

To the family of Ms. Janet Prince: We did not know Janet all that well, but she made a lasting impression in our hearts. She was always cheerful no matter how she felt and was always thinking of others. We are sadden to hear of your loss.
