Janet will be greatly missed by me and my family. She was the best story teller! She told many stories that kept me laughing and helped me make it through the work day. She loved the little kids. Everytime my son, daughters and grandkids would come in to our work place, we would have to stop by Janet's desk to visit. She even gave great wheelchair rides to my grandkids when she was at the Ambassador. Sam, you were the love & the light of her life! She just brightened up when ever she she spoke of you. She was so proud of you! Just know that your mother loved you more than life itself!
We are so sorry for your loss.

When I think of Janet I think of a tenacious individual with an infectious smile. Although we haven't seen each other in years, I think of her from time to time and a smile always crosses my face as I remember the facial expressions she used to make.

My very deepest condolences to her family and to those friends who have been close to her.

To the Olbrey family, I am so sorry to hear of Janet's passing. We had so many great times together when we were younger. Fishing, playing pinball and just being crazy kids. She was a great friend and person. My thoughts are with you all in this time of sorrow.
