I am so sorry for your loss. Janet is with Grant now. She wanted that. She was a very sweet person. With deepest sympathy
So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to you all!
I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of working with Janet in the Riverside Bakery. I will keep her in my prayers. She was a great woman, always had a smile on her face. May she Rest In Peace and May you all find peace.
Janet was such a lovely woman. Always so kind and caring. Every time I would see her she would ask for an update on how I was doing no matter how ill she felt. Then she would ask how my dad was doing. Of course she would never want to talk about herself just that God was in control. May her soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace.
