Sister By Heart sums up this wonderful lady. Melba, Darrel, Steph Dawn and Wyatt you are in my thoughts constantly. Our world is just a little darker cause this shining light is gone but we know it is only for a little while. She set the standard for all nurses to attain to. Wish I could be with you but my prayers are.
I am so sorry to hear of Janet's passing. I had the pleasure to work with Janet several years ago as an ER registration clerk at CCH. She was one of my favorite ER nurses to work with on the weekends. Her drive and determination will not be matched! May you feel God's presence during this time.
So very sorry for your loss your mom was a very special lady and she will be missed at work. My prayers are with Stephanie, Dawn and Wyatt.
Our prayers n thoughts are with you all during this sad time in your life.
You'll be missed
In my prayers.
Janet's love, compassion, caring, and dedication to her profession made her one of the best and most exceptional nurses I have ever known. Hearing the sadness expressed throughout the county of her passing makes me think of her as the ripples in a pond after tossing a rock into the water. Those ripples are far reaching and I doubt she ever realized just how many lives she touched, and helped during her career. My sincerest and deepest condolences to you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Darrell and Melba, So sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers Rosalie Rinehart Wildbur

Dawn and Stephanie, Your mother was great at everything she tried. She was a quiet leader who gave you girls a fine example to follow in life. When I had her in class, I never dreamed I would later have her two beautiful daughters who were the light in her eyes. She treasured the moments she shared with you and we would often talk about how you were both doing, how proud she was of all your accomplishments and how you strongly faced your struggles. You have years of many wonderful times together as you grew and developed into ladies with their own homes. I am proud of you girls and how you have went out and searched for your dreams. Your mother will always be a part of you and your children and I know you will share with them about the wonderful mother you both loved. God is with you and I hope you can feel his warmth. God bless you both!
God's speed, Janet. A new life you have and we will always hold you dear to our hearts.
Prayers out for family and friends. Janet was exceptional. Janet shared her positive attitude, determination, and expertise with many people.

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Janet was one of a kind.. ALWAYS wanted to help others. Her family & her friends were so IMPORTANT to her. Her dedication to her patients and CCH were amazing. I had the pleasure to work with her and also call her my friend. May God help each of her family members, friends and her CCH family find comfort in knowing that she is watching over everyone. I too will miss her but I do thank God for the time I had with her & the privilege of having my memories that I can hold onto. Praying for each of Janet's beloved family members and close friends.
Dawn and Stephanie, there is no understanding this. Your mom has been taken out of your lives far too soon. She loved each of you through and through. She was proud of all your accomplishments and talked about you often. Wyatt was a highlight in her life. She worked hard and had an incredible amount of friends and people who genuinely loved her for this you should be proud, surround yourself with people who have fond memories of your mom so she will never be forgotten! I shall think fondly of her often!
Janet was a beautiful, kind person. "Empathy heals the individual at the same time that it heals the world. It is the sister of compassion and the child of unconditional love."- Brian Weiss, M.D.

I've had the opportunity to be a patient of yours and your still calm voice was so comforting in a time of need. You have taken care of family members and my children and to say you were an AMAZING nurse is an understatement, although you are gone way to soon. I will always remember your sweet spirit! May you rest in heavenly Peace!!
I am so sorry to hear of Janet's passing. She was a wonderful person. I worked with Janet for 21 years and she was the best ER nurse that I have ever seen in action. I always told her if I was ever having a heart attack I would pray that she was working ER! After talking to her a few weeks ago she told me she was the Infusion Nurse. Clay County Hospital will suffer a great loss. My prayers are with her children and grandchildren.

Such a wonderful lady and excellent nurse. Loved working with her and enjoyed her smile and desire to help others. Janet never got tired, she always seemed to have so much energy. She will be missed by numerous CCH employees, family and her patients.
Dawn, Steph, and Wyatt, your mom was the most unselfish person I ever met. Always helping others and lifting their spirits and hopes. I always looked forward to visiting her and have missed her so much since I moved away. She wrote me a couple of letters in the past few years. She dearly loved you girls and her grandson so much. I find it hard to believe that she took her own life. The world lost a warm hearted loving angle but heaven gained one.
I love you and miss you so much aunt Janet!
I am so sorry and just found out today. My heart and prayers go out to family. Brenda Miller & family

Janet, we loved you. We looked forward to your trips to Saskatchewan twice a year and the wonderful times that we had together...like picking blueberries, that Thanksgiving at Loon Lake and our long walks. I always left with tears the night that you would be leaving to return to the US. Remember how we'd look at the stars and hope for a sight of northern lights that you loved. We felt that your family was our family from the wonderful stories that you would tell us of them. Good-bye dear friend.

My heart is breaking for your family. No words can ease the pain you are feeling , but it will become easier as the days pass. If any of you need to talk just call I will be there no matter how far into the future that need is. Janet was always there for me during hard times.& fun times. She touched so many lives with her nursing & giving to our community. She will always hold a special place in my heart & many others . She may be gone from earth but she will never be forgotten.

So sorry to hear the news of Janet's passing. She was a good friend in school and I know she will be missed by everyone she knew. Peace be with the family and God bless. Another Angel has spread her wings in heaven.
My condolence. I was a schoolmate. I just learned of her passing. She was always a beautiful person. One of the few true friends of my class. Family was so important to her. It was shocking to learn of her passing.
Hi there. I don't know you nor have I met you but I was behind your sister at a red light and she has a big beautiful sticker on her car with your name in a heart. I thought to myself, "the lady who passed must be very loved. I love wonder what she was like" & here I am, reading how beautiful you are as a person. I know you're doing better now and maybe one day, we can meet. Rest in peace.
Janet was my Grandma I always called her Nana and i couldn't stand to think about it for a year
