Janet was the widow of Thomas Allan "Cap" Johnson, Jr. Born August 1, 1926, in Mooresville, NC, she was the daughter of the late William C. and Elizabeth R. Johnston.

To Beth and all the family. My prayers are for comfort for you knowing she is in God's loving hands now. No more pain, worry, sorrow or any of the other troubles of this world. Beth, I remember your mother as a gentle, kind woman with a ready smile. After losing my mother last year, it always gives me comfort to think of her surrounded by love, as your mother is now.

My Mother, Nell Herndon, loved your mother. She was so kind and loving to everyone. I know you all will have a difficult time dealing with the grief but after a while, a long while, you begin to live again. My Mother went to Heaven on May 1, 1999 and I think of things she told me all the time. My heartfelt sympathy is extended to all.

Janet was a beautiful lady. I will remember her wisdom and quiet way about her. I am thankful I met her in my life. There are words she shared with me that I will never forget, which witnessed to me, Christ living in her.

My thoughts and prayers are with all the family at this time of sorrow. I have missed going by to see her since my mother died. I would take Mother by to see her and they would hold hands and Janet would talk to Mother and make sure she was okay. I know they are up there together starting a new women's group. I also remember our fathers playing golf on Wednesdays. Always remember the special times with Janet and she will always be with you in your heart. She was a good Christian woman and very special to me . She will be greatly missed. God be with all of you especially now and always. Love, Ellen Carter Luck
