In Loving Memory
We were sorry to hear of Janette's passing. Our family and Don and Janette moved from So Dak to Salt Lake City within one week of each other in Sept 1964. We lived in the same Sugar House neighborhood for years. Our children grew up together and we kept in touch with Janette in later years. Our condolences to the family.

Janette will be missed here at Park Place. Her efforts helping with the Easter egg hunt were appreciated by both the young and old alike. We have fond memories of her sitting at the pool wearing that cute little hat of hers. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
