She loved Jamaicans and was actively involved in the church especially with children. Janet learned sign language, taught in the deaf school and interpreted church services. She loved everything about Jamaica, made lifetime friends and fluently spoke Jamaican Patois. Janet was loved by all who knew her! Her passion for sign language led her to pursue a vocation as a Certified Interpreter for the Deaf in the Fulton County School System. She was forced to leave her loved vocation because of physical disabilities. She endured much suffering and pain but ALWAYS with a smile! She will be greatly missed but NEVER FORGOTTEN! Her testimony and legacy lives on. SHE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, SHE KEPT THE FAITH AND SHE FINISHED HER COURSE.
