I wish to offer my sincere condolences to Janel's family. I'm so glad I got to meet Jane and Cindy. I'm very sorry I will be unable to attend the services for Janel, please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time. I know Janel is in a much better place now she's in Gods hands. I will miss her dearly even tho she could be quite a handfull at times. She was a dear friend and neighbor of mine since 11/2008. I'm going to miss our grilling out together in the summers since 2009. My memories will be of all the fun ones we had together. Janel will also be missed by my three daughters Lacy, Kari and especially Nicole and her daughter, my grandaughter MaKiyah (2yrs. old) who called her "Grandma Janel". Janel would laugh everytime. May Janel rest in peace.
