To Janet's family, Janet was a precious person. Very friendly and kind. Whenever she went down the hall when she looked in my mom's room where I was visiting she may stop to talk or just say hi. Whenever she had candy she would always be giving it to anyone who went by. I'm glad I had the privilege to know her. I will miss her. Lori Heck
