I worked with Janet for about four years at Philhaven.  She was always friendly and cheerful.  I was so shocked to read about her passing.  When I left Philhaven, I believe she was working towards her RN degree.  Please accept my sympathies.

I want to let you know what a blessing Janet was to all of us that worked with her!  She was fun to be with and did a good job with the patients.  She was a very smart person!  We always went to her with our spelling and medication questions, and she always had the right answer.  She and I particularly enjoyed singing the oldies together.  I know the staff was sick of hearing the Carpenters being sung by us.

She always spoke very highly of her children!  You were a blessing in her life!

She will be greatly missed!
