Jack of all trades master to none this describes my mom perfectly On her own she raised 4 Kids. 3 girls and 1 boy. She was our plumber our carpenter our roofer our cook and our breadwinner. And so much more in between. You know the old saying duct tape fixes everything? Well rest assured if something was broken and needed fixing if my mom had the duck tape she was going to fix it. I think that became one of her life's mottos.Janet was many things to many people; daughter,sister, mother, grandmother, friend and confidant. Growing up with her as my mother I learned many things, one of which was she always knew when I was lying. I think I became her human lie detector. She always told me to not ever lie. She instilled truth in me and for that I am forever greatful.Janet was one of the happiest people I've known. She always had a smile to offer and eyes that would light up the room. Her sense of humor was one of a kind, for this I say to know her is to love her. I don't know if she was funnier when she didn't get the joke and laughed or when she finally got the joke and laughed. One memory i will never forget is when she first started coming to her grandson Tristan's football games. For the longest time she thought the refs were saying "Flag on the plate". Then there was the soccer games for Kaleb. If one of the kids started to accidentally go the wrong way with the ball or accidentally score a goal for the other team she would yell(none to softly)"Are you playing for the other team?" Or if they happened to stumble and fall while kicking the ball she would call them a "little drunkard". I have so many amazingly wonderful memories of my mom. Along with these wonderful memories I also remember constantly seeing my mom struggle to give us what we needed. She always made something out of nothing. She was simply amazing.I could go on and on about my mom. But I dont think I need to. I know that every part of her lives inside of me and I hope when my time comes, I go out being every bit of the strong woman she was.
