    There are no words to express on losing a close friend, nor for her family Steve, Darrin & Jodi, Stephanie & Pete, Mark & Angela, Brent & Sarah, & of course the grandkids ♥️ Her family was her priority, and love of her life.
    Janet was one of a kind….warm hearted & giving, spoke from her hip and that was always appreciated… and always fun whether card playing, excursions or hanging out. She entertained easily and you were always welcome in their home.
    Janet was a good friend & will be missed.
    Love Barry & Melonie

Her love and pride of her entire family was so evident in the way she talked about each and every one of you. She cherished her family times. There was always a welcome hug when we showed and an offer of a refreshment. So many giggles on our many shopping trips and get together for card games etc.. Her love and trust in our Lord and Saviour was evident in her life and the peace she was feeling in her last days here on earth. Thank you for being a “sister” to me. We will miss you my friend.
