I loved Janet as if she were my family. I will forever be thankful for the time I got to spend with her and assisting her with her daily needs. I will always remember our conversations we had and all the laughter we shared. Janet would be the first one I would go to see at work and the last one I’d find and tell bye to before leaving my shift. I love you Janet and pray for healing for your family.
