"I just heard about Janet and it breaks my heart!!!! I absolutely adored her parents and her family! . Although we lost touch in the past few years my memories of her are of a fun, vivacious, kind and loving lady who was a good friend to many and a childhood friend who I cherished! Whenever I would come home to visit and would run into her we would have fun, light hearted conversations like no time had passed at all?she was just so genuine! Heartfelt condolences to her family. Rest In Peace my dear friend!"
