I am so sorry for your loss. I worked for Janette at Esther's as a Hostess with my mother Rebecca who was a waitress and I apologise for being so late and out of the blue. I was just missing Esther's and decided to Google and I was scrolling through images and seen the picture. Again Sorry for your loss she was an amazing woman and an awesome boss.

Janette, I really enjoyed visiting you, Nolan, and Bozo in our youth. Y'all were my Texas First Cousins.. Uncle Oris was my Dad, Freddie's Brother. It was exciting traveling from Sulphur to see y'all in Port Arthur during our childhood. You were so beautiful. I wish I had seen and visited more with you during adulthood. Please Rest in Peace. I love you and miss you. Please be with my sister and your good friend in adulthood, Rita Faye also born 1947. She is with you in heaven. My sister Anna Mae, with me visiting now in Katy Texas. She also feels the same. She also misses you.

Sending prayers & condolences from all of your Louisiana cousins. Janette's mother, Etha, would visit my grandparents, James & Nolia Daigle, in Breaux Bridge, LA. (Etha & Nolia were sisters.) "Tante Etha" would keep us up to date on her family. So sorry for your loss.

Janette will be greatly missed. I will always remember her kindness and her smiles. She was always so very nice and always looked radiantly beautiful when she went out. I know that we were only friends, however our friendship was as close to family as you can possibly get. My family's thoughts and prayers are with you all.
