I'm so sorry to hear of Janet's passing. I knew her from the South Country Jamboree, we had many laughs and I will miss her.

Bev Lorencz, April 4, 2024

My deepest condolences to Janets family and many friends. Janet was a caring, hard working, compasionate, loving wife, mother, grandmother and greatmother. I knew Janet for a short time but I learned a lot from her. Repairing a toilet at Janets workplace was a paperclip holding together the flush chain. Janet came to inspect and said "we used to use them all the time on the farm to repair things. We also used pantyhose to repair broken fanbelts". Janet is now walking the path to be reuinted with her husband. A gentle breeze came and picked Janet up to take her to her new home. And everytime we feel a gentle breeze blowing we can be reminded ofthe wonderful person Janet was. May Janets family and friends pain and sorrow be gently healed in this time of remembering Janet.
