My deepest sympathies to the family - I did not know Janet, but being from Antigo myself, probably saw her at one time or another. I'm sure she was a wonderful woman - just knowing that she was a Christian! Hope the family has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday & is able to share fond memories, as my family will be doing.
God bless!!
