Precious Janet! She could be handful, but all Dr. Hood’s nurses have a special place in our hearts for her. Rest peacefully, sweet friend. God bless all the family and may he bring you peace.
Thoughts and Prayers for the family. I met Janet at Mardi Gras-Port Arthur one year-then I would see her at Kroger, and we would visit. Rest in Peace now my friend.
Pam, Karen and Debbie,
