Remembering Janet:

Grandma Gloria – “Ya Think?!”, she could murder the English language better than anyone.

Grandma Helen—If I needed help, Janet would be there in a couple minutes.

Bruce—“It is what it is.”

Denny – “It’s what I do.”

Jolynn – “Very talented and creative

Lori – She had so many talents that only Janet knew how to do and do well—so many things.

Millie – “Now Millie”, mom always let me talk and she always listened and knew what to say (or maybe said nothing), good or bad.

P.J. – When I was five playing basketball, she was teaching me to dribble and shoot, my shoe kept coming untied. She refused to let me play until I tied my shoe. I learned to tie my shoe that day. #teacher #parent #bestmother

Mike – I will miss the times we would spend together watching crime shows, sharing thoughts, giving me life advice, and just sharing a good laugh together.
