We grew together, side by side, building something lasting from the small moments most people overlook. It was never about impressing others. It was about understanding each other and growing a love that felt like home. Janelle was home to me. Not boring, but comfort. Watching movies together on the sofa, holding hands on a walk, kayaking down a river, quiet evenings, visiting quality friends. She will be missed till the end of my days.

"Janelle, you were my partner in life, you were my best friend. You showed me how to follow GOD, how to be strong in challenging times, never giving up on your faith. I loved that about you. I loved our time together, as short as it was. You were my inspiration. We were truly, each other's true love."

Services will be held privately.

In lieu of flowers, Janelle would love donations be made to St. Jude Research Hospital in Janelle Parker’s name.
