Can’t believe six years have gone by already. Losing three of our family members so close together was hard, to say the least. But time does not erase the memories and there are MANY wonderful ones. Hen Party, family reunions, corn pie, her laugh, to mention a few. Praying that your families are well. Do think of you often. Sending prayers and love to you all.

There are so many people you meet in life, but Janet was one of those you never forget. Janet was always a very positive and pleasant to everyone. We shared many great summers at Clear Lake, in Canada. Janet was always a cheerful to me and my family. I know we all will miss her very much. To Gregg, Glen, and Janine, may the memories comfort you in the days ahead. God has called her home, may you "Rest in Peace"

As a family, our memories of Janet are too numerous to mention, but all hold a place near and dear to our hearts. Our family picnics, and, of course, Hen Party, were always special and fun times that we spent together. My mouth waters just thinking about her corn pie! Janet was kind and loving, laughed so easily and heartily, and was genuinely interested in what was going on in your life. Our love, prayers and condolences to all of her family. She will surely be missed by many.

Love,
Linda Grason and family
