Dear Steve and Allison. Im so sorry to hear of your moms passing. I know she was a great intelligent lady and you were so blessed to have her in your lives for so long. My own mom passed away this week. She was 95. Even though we are saddled we are happy that she has finally made the next step in her progression and can now be with her sweetheart again❤  I hope you have similar feelings about your moms passing. Love and hugs and sympathy to you and your family. Sincerely, Debbie and Kenn

I first met Janet in 1987 when I started dating her son, Stephen. I joined her family October 14th, 1989 and we enjoyed many fun years together. Some of my favorite memories with Janet are: Swimming in her indoor pool, seeing her hold as many TV dinners as possible and asking me to choose one, watching her dance to Frank Sinatra, celebrating the holidays together (always big events), seeing her interact and love her grand children Ashley and David, hearing her playing the piano (AMAZING PIANIST), and having family chats about life.  Janet loved teaching the youth, working for the Chula Vista School District and traveling the world. She is the first person in her family line to live to see the birth of grand children and live beyond age 70.  A funny fact about Janet: When she was very young her older brother, Donald, took piano lessons (he hated it). Janet's mom was bedridden and always loved to hear Donald practice playing the piano.  Little did she know the pianist was Janet.  Donald disliked the piano so much he secretly paid Janet his allowance to take his piano lessons and practice for his mom. Years later,  Janet inherited the family grand piano. She could play almost anything you asked; just hum your favorite tune and she would play it beautifully and with her added twist!  My family was so blessed to be able to spend time with Janet during her last years here in Fallbrook, close to our home. We will be forever grateful for all the love and fun times we shared with her. We love and miss you Janet, mom and Mommer (her grandma name)!

Janet helped to make my teaching days in Chula Vista very rewarding.  She was one of the reasons I taught there for many years. I am saddened by her passing.

She was an amazing woman.  I thought she was definitely a role model to any young woman on what you can accomplish in your life.  I did not keep in touch and wish i would have, she was such a neat lady.   I will never forget when she got her new Cadillac when we were in high school.  My thoughts are with her family,  and my heart hurts.  It is hard to loose someone so special.
