Your mom and I were both at Jon and Kelli's home several years ago. I had been very clinically depressed for some time. Janet said to me, with a big smile and so sweetly, "You just need some GIRL time! You can be with US! "....meaning you, Kelli and her. Such a loving invitation to me, a mom who has three wonderful sons...but no female progeny. Yes! You three CERTAINLY did know how to have FUN. She truly touched my heart by her inclusive love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bob & Family, Ginger and Cindy, My heart was saddened when I heard the news about Janet's passing. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you, her beloved family. The "CHS" class of 1963 has lost another special classmate and friend. I went to school with Janet, from elementary through high school. She always had so much going for her, with all the attributes she had, intelligence, talents, personality, and looks. She was loved by all her classmates and everyone else. Janet and I was on the cheerleader team together, and she was my soloist for my wedding. Bob, I am so thankful you both were able to come to our 50th class reunion a couple of years ago. She was a picture of health, and the same beautiful person she always was. She spoke so highly of you, as her husband. I know this is a very sad and hard time for you all, but at least we know she is not suffering anymore. She is now with her loving Mother and Daddy, whom everyone loved also. May God's love sustain all of you in the days ahead. Love, Carole Ladd Turner
Our friendship began 29 years ago when Janet started working at Clary Nantz, where I also worked, before she married Bob. She was very special and our friendship continued all of these years. We shared many of the same thoughts and beliefs regarding life, family and work. Fond memories also include our husbands and dining out, delicious homecooked meals, a few drinks, bridge, golf and visiting with them in the snowy Northwoods. Janet was a competitor. When golfing, the two of us were determined to have better scores than the guys - we'd always ask them how many strokes they were going to give us. Needless to say, they were not too forgiving. Isn't a woman always right? Well, that's what Janet and I thought. We were even so convinced we were right about a United States capitol, that we bet a trip to Aruba. The gals were never taken there, but neither were the guys! We will miss Janet, but we'll always have our favorite memories.

Bob, Bobbi, Jim, Mikel, Jaimi and family. I am so sorry for your loss. I feel truly blessed to have known Janet! I will always remember her southern charm, gracious hospitality, contagious laugh, beautiful voice, and her zest for life. She was a precious gem! My thoughts and prayers are with you all. All my love! Cathy S.
