Our thoughts and prayers are with the Peterson/Grender family at this time. Janet was my aunt and she had a very bubbly personality. Janet will be missed by many but will now reunite with her parents and brother. With our sympathy, Bill and Carla (Peterson) Cox

So sorry to learn of Janet's passing. I worked with her several years ago. I randomly thought of Janet today as I wrapped up my 7 month old in the softest baby blanket that Janet gifted my first born, four years ago. She was so kind and always asking how my family was doing.

The news of Janet's passing has broken our hearts. We loved everything about her and Don. To have Janet attend an event at Primrose was to know you'd be greeted with smiles, laughter, and good cheer. She and Don are the couple we dream of being, so very totally committed to each other, and Don's loving care of her over these months has been a testament to what a lifelong commitment should be. Our world is a far more empty space without Janet, she will be missed. Don, you are so loved by us all, if you are in need of anything, we are but a phone call away. The Clevelands
