It was a joy to care for her at Atria. She was spunky, had a great sense of humor and brought excitement with her. She is missed already!

We absolutely loved Janet and throughly enjoyed conversations and joking with her. We often would joke and she would make fun of me for dancing. I miss seeing her smiling face.
