    I have so many great memories of "Kil". I took art class every year in school because we had such a great relationship. She was witty and funny, I just loved her. One thing she told me that always stuck with me is that uneven numbers of anything is more pleasing and I use that advice in everything I do. My heart is saddened at her passing and my thoughts go out to her family and friends. Rest In Peace Mrs. K. I will never forget you.

    Janet was a loving mother and grandmother, a caring teacher and librarian, an artist, and a friend to so many. Janet was like an older sister offering advice and listening to our problems. I will miss those long phone calls and hearty laughter. Rest in peace, my friend.

    I am so sorry for you loss. Aunt Janet meant a lot to met a lot to me and I often spent summers with her and my grandmother. Aunt Janet helped me to make my wedding dress. She will be missed. She was a wonderful person I loved dearly.

    Some of the best childhood memories were in a house that was always decorated with a spiral staircase. The woman, my great-aunt Janet, was always either in chair or at the kitchen table. I remember playing in the backyard, thinking it was a forest of adventure. We would walk around the corner to great-grandma's house for cookies. She greeted us with love and happiness. Even as adults traveling through, we were always welcome. She told jokes and she had a wonderful laugh.

    I love you Aunt Janet. Always have, always will. Tell Grandpa and Uncle Mark I love them.
