The day I met Janet, I knew I met a friend. What a blessing she was to so many people and organizations in North Platte! When I asked her to serve on the Playhouse Guild Board, I was thrilled she said yes as well as all the other ladies who serve on our Board. She was also willing to help serve on the Playhouse Board as our Guild Representative for the last year. She could decorate, bake and help in so many ways. Her wonderful smile could light up any room. God was so good to give North Platte this very special lady. She is missed already by all of us.
