Although, its been years since we seen each other i will always remember the great times we had together. Your humor and wit could not be matched. You will be missed by many RIP Janet.

Kirby, as I always called her, was indeed one of a kind. Though the life of every party, she was also a great friend. She always put others first. There isn't anything she wouldn't do to help someone out. The corner of 12th & Chew, will never be the same. Thanks for all the good times, the laughter and the craziness. You sure made living fun. R I P Janet! Sincerely, Gina

You were one of my best "buds" in grade school, where we shared many adventures.
Even as the years have past without seeing one another I'll still remember those carefree youthful days so many years ago.
A life too short lived for one sassy little girl ..... My prayers are with the family.

Janet will truly be missed. Such a wonderful person, always laughing and making others laugh. In the many years that I knew her I never saw her not enjoying herself. Her spirit and her raucous laugh will live on with the multitude of friends who were lucky enough to know her. Smile on us Janet, and when we laugh for no reason, we'll know it was you having some fun with ourselves.

Words cannot express how much we will miss you. Anything written will seem small since you were larger than life in so many ways.

Barry and I will greatly miss Janet. Her wit and spunk always helped me laugh and relax and the banter between her and Barry that cracked us both up. She was always willing to help where she could. Prayers and condolences to her family.
