Janet was one the kindest people I´ve ever known , even if I wasn´t family the feeling would still be the same , always calling to check in , would look forward to a text on every holiday with some kind of emoji or her with a funny hat or sweater, what it took to showcase that particular holiday , the world is definitely not as brite w/o Janet in it , miss her and love her

My daughter Adrienne is Lynette´s next door neighbor and she has grown to consider Janet a second mom. Janet was aways there to help her with her lawn and give her advice about her pond. She was loved and will be sorely missed.
