Janet will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend and would go out of her way for the people she loved. She was the most loyal and loving person you could talk too without judgement or concern you knew she would always be there for you. She always lived life with a giggle. We love you always mom, grandma, sister always and forever. Until we meet again.
