I am so blessed to have married into the Baughman family and had the opportunity to know and love Janet. We had opportunity to share so many times together with Janet and Steve and their loving family. Our families are truly soul mates through the years and God has blessed us. Janet was a loving spirit and will be a great addition to Heaven. Her pain and suffering is over and I can hear God and His beloved Son say to her, “Well done thou good and faithful servant”.

My sincere condolences to Janet’s family. Over the years Janet and I have had a wonderful Relationship always joking and laughing together. We cared and loved each other Deeply. Janet really loved life and especially loved her family. I remember growing up with her and visiting the Baughman household in Teagarden next to Grandma and Grandpa. It was such a fun time to be in the presents of such an upbeat and positive family. I can hear her laughter right now and see her smiling face. She will be greatly missed! Much love to all.
