I met Janet here in Ky. Our sons went to school together. We had so much fun working together for the PTA. She also helped me out in Cub Scouts. We had fun going to thrift shops and finding craft supplies. We always had such good times. You will be sorely missed sweet lady.
Jani was the best neighbor EVER I’ve known her my whole life , I knew her parents and I’ve watched her kids grow up. She will be missed so much on behalf of the Barnett family rest in peace my dear friend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Janet wasn’t a cousin she was a sister. I love her so much. We had so much fun together from childhood to adult. Granny had an old house behind the farm house and still had furniture in it. We all played house. Then we got older and our favorite thing was thrift stores. Unique on Preston was our very favorite. When she was here recently we went to several Goodwill’s. I have wanted to call her and send her things and just cry. I miss Mikey so much and now Janet. But they are together again and happy. She was an absolutely wonderful person and bestest sister ever! RIP Janet until I get to see you again. I love you all so much!❤️❤️
Janet and I worked together for a while and became great friends. I remember building her she-shed in the backyard before they became a thing. 😊 We worked back there on crafts with a bandsaw. It’s a wonder we didn’t lose our fingers.
Your parents were so generous with their time, love, kindness and hospitality. When I was going through a divorce, they took me in and let me stay until I could afford to move out.
When I remarried, they were there. She stood up with me.
I remember some crazy stuff we got your dad into too. They were so awesome! Up for anything!
I loved Janet and Mike, and I love you too! I remember you boys growing up!
God bless you
