Janet was an ever-cheerful friend and classmate. I always said that if I ever became seriously ill, I would like Janet to take care of me. She will be missed.
Our deepest sympathy in the loss of Janet. She was one of a kind, always caring and always fun to be with.

So sorry to hear of Janet’s death. She was such a sweet soul! Was with her in the Tracy Clinic the day she found out she was pregnant with Lori. What a sweet memory for me! Sympathies to Janet’s family. BETTY Jo ( Visker) Troseth
