I will miss Janet! I met her when my mother-in-law, Shirley, and Janet became roommates at EMVH. Janet always had something to say and was never shy about asking for help. I, also, loved seeing her at the Sunday evening church services that I coordinated for the residents. May God grant her family peace and comfort in the days ahead.

I'm so glad I had a chance to get to know Janet. She was generous and kind and always ready for a laugh! I know you will be greatly missed by your family and are much loved. I think of her often as I still enjoy the beautiful hummingbird mobile she gave me. It is now a very special memory. Much love, peace, and comfort to all her family.

Janet was a sweet and thoughtful woman. Even though we didn’t see her often, she still gave us presents for Christmas when we were kids. May her soul Rest In Peace.

Dearest Grandma- you have such a special place in my heart. You were the best part of Michigan summers, you made a teenage girl stuck in a small town feel alive every moment we spent. You made me laugh until it hurt and I will always, always cherish those memories. I love you, I miss you, until next time.
