“Miss Janet” will be long remembered by Hailey and Keeton for her piano lessons, her terrific cooking, and her sincere interest in their welfare, education and development as young Christians and musicians. She truly cared about their skill development and encouraging their love of music and we parents appreciated her care and concern expressed in between lessons on her own free time. We know she is beyond physical limitations now and free of health challenges, with the Lord she loved, but we still miss her and pray for her family that she cherished.
Lillie Keeton says
I came to know miss Janet and David through my grandchildren, Hailey and Keeton. I would sometimes take them for their lessons and she would always come out and talk with me afterwards. The last time was their last lesson and we had a very nice conversation and said goodbye. She was a tiny lady, but large in life and faith. I love her and send special condolences to David, her children and grandchildren whom she loved dearly. Sympathy also to her students and friends.
