Janet was a very special friend. We worked together and became good friends out of work. Her joy and friendship will always stay with me. She had a beautiful gift with children.

I worked at Bess T Sheperd for two years, I always enjoyed watching Janet with the children. You could tell she had a great love for the children. She will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss of your wife and mother. My memory of Janet Soto was that she was a caring woman who loved her family and only wanted the best for them. I knew her because of her contact with Ooltewah High School where her children attended. God Bless. Geraldine Winburn, retired OHS teacher.

Mrs. Soto was a beautiful woman with a generous spirit. I consider it an honor to have met her and worked with her at BTS. I know that she sits in heavenly places with Christ Jesus now. I am grateful for the legacy of His love she left behind wiith so many. God's greatest peace be on her family as they treasure the life she lived and remember the impact she made on so many.
