So very sorry to hear of Janet's passing. I worked with Janet way back in the 70's at Moline Public Hospital when she was at first a Respiratory Therapist and then into the Nursing Profession. We shared many good times and I still think of her often.

I am praying for you guys. Jan was quite the gal and I enjoyed working with her at Genesis. I agree with Sara she has raised two fine young men. Blessings of peace to you and yours.

I am sorry to hear of Janet's passing. While we long ago lost contact, I fondly recall the times we enjoyed working together at St. Anthony's in the Respiratory Therapy department. Janet always helped make working less drudgery and more fun. May she rest in peace.
