Janet was a dear friend whom I met while she lived at Evergreen Estates. I took her to many doctor appointments and kept her room stocked up with her favorites for her to enjoy, We spent many days with her recalling her life in Minnesota, California and back in Iowa. She so enjoyed visiting. I will miss her so much.
Sorry that I was not able to meet her children, sincerely JoLene Chapin

Janet was a dear friend of mine whom I met while she was at Evergreen Estates. I took her to many doctor appointments and kept her stocked up on her favorite goodies for her room. She was a wonderful person and she loved to talk and tell me stories of her past. I will miss her very much. So sorry that I did not meet her family, she loved you both very much, sincerely JoLene Chapin
