Condolence from Barry & Melonie on July 30th, 2021 10:16 AM

There are no words to express on losing a close friend, nor for her family Steve, Darrin & Jodi, Stephanie & Pete, Mark & Angela, Brent & Sarah, & of course the grandkids ♥️ Her family was her priority, and love of her life.
Janet was one of a kind….warm hearted & giving, spoke from her hip and that was always appreciated… and always fun whether card playing, excursions or hanging out. She entertained easily and you were always welcome in their home.
Janet was a good friend & will be missed.
Love Barry & Melonie
