Janet was known for her fiery and sassy personality. As Shakespeare put it, “though she be but little she is fierce.” More than anything, Janet was known for her unconditional love for her family and friends. Her hugs were legendary. She loved giving big kisses on the cheek. When you went over to her house, you knew that you were going to get some good food, a huge hug, and some great conversation. Janet loved nothing more than to sit on the porch and talk with her family and friends.
A Memorial Service will be held at The Jesus Church of Castroville on Saturday, December 18 at 2pm. All who knew Janet loved her. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
