Do not cry because I am gone, smile because I was here.
Our deepest sympathy to all the members of Janets family. I will miss her great smile. She made crafts so much fun.
Lucile, you raised such a beautiful daughter. Love you!
“Aunt Jan” was a brilliant and happy woman who was a huge part of my life growing up. She also providided me with a vision of the woman I would be and have become. I am tearfully sad that such a light has passed our way and hope that she finds peace in a bigger and brighter place. Pray that her family and especially her boys who were my buddies and loves as we grew up. Time heals. I offer you this.
With love,
Kathryn Kathy

I had the priveledge of working with Janet for several years during the mid 1980’s at Rainier Bank in Kennewick. I will always remember her beautiful smile and upbeat personality. She was always a true business woman, very courteous, helpful and professional. May God bless each of you with His grace and comfort in knowing you will be together again one day.
Aunt Jan was a wonderful lady. We were so sorry to hear of her passing. Our love goes out to all of you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Mark, Kim,

As a member of the same graduating class as Janet and an old but good friend of her brother Jack and late father Bud, both of whom I bowled with & against for many years, I send heartfelt condolences to the entire family.
Mom,
Thank you for everything. You were always there with a hug, encouraging words, and helping hands.
Jan was my very best friend for 42 years, to whom I could tell everything; and she listened with compassion and understanding. Our relationship never changed over the years. We were very close friends.
