She enjoyed camping, scrapbooking, and making cards. Janet was full of life and saw the beauty in everyone.

I am so saddened that this has happened to such a sweet, kind, loving person. My heart is breaking for her and for everyone who knew and loved her. I am so glad I had a chance to get to know her better and become friends with her but sad it was because of the loss of her mom and dad that brought us back into contact with each other after so many years. Now she is with them again and what a beautiful reunion that must have been for them. We sure will miss her.

Janet's greatest joy was her family, I know her proudest accomplishments are her children because she talked about you all every day I worked with her. I loved how Janet read stories, and how she was so good at explaining the world to young children. In thinking of Janet's love of her family, I remember one of her favorite books "The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn. May you find comfort in your memories. Thinking of you with big warm hugs. -Karen

My heart is broken with this news. She was our boys teacher at RC. She had a huge heart and was always a pleasure being around! We will miss her and my prayers go out to her family! The world is a better place because all the lives touched by Janet .
