My sincere condolences for your loss of Janette. It is a huge loss for everybody. She was one of the nicest, sweetest, kindest people I've ever met. Even though I only knew her for a short time, I had the utmost respect and admiration for her. Earth's loss is Heaven's gain.

I'm so sorry to see the passing of Janette. She was always so kind to me during my marriage to Sonny and after our divorce, whenever we saw each other she was still the same old Janette i always knew. The last time i saw her I came out of WaWa and she was in the car and yelled at me when I came out the door. It had been so long since I had seen her and hate to say I didn't recognize her at first. I'm sure she will really be missed by her family and friends. Just hold your memories close to your heart and know she is in a better place.
