To the Loger Family:
I was sadden to read of Janelle's passing. She always was an inspiration to me when we were in Sunday School at State Line. Years later when I would see her in Luverne she always was so happy to see me and chat about our families, what was happening in our lives, etc.
When the Lord takes our loved one, he leaves the gift of memories in exchange. May you and all your family members have many wonderful and precious memories to remember what a wonderful wife, mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother that you had the priviledge to share your lives with.
In deepest sympathy,
Debi (Boelman) & Kent Ringkob
Jackson, MN 56143

To Louie, Craig, and Steve and families,
It has been so sad and disturbing to hear of Janelle's passing. She seemed to be such a special person. When we saw her, she seemed so warm, friendly, and comfortable to be around. She had a great smile! I know she was a wonderful person and I feel fortunate to have had her as family, even though I didn't know her well. I'm sorry we didn't live a little closer and connected more often. I know this is going to be hard to lose her and I hope you will find comfort in the many memories of this person who you love so dearly. We think of you. Judy and Bob Locker

It was so sad to hear of Janelle's passing. My time spent on the farm forms the basis of some of my fondest childhood memories. Even baling hay and walking beans was fun for the boy from the city. I remember coffee around the kitchen table, plinking with .22s in the pasture, milking cows and daily chores. You almost seemed like family. My prayers and condolences to you during this time of sorrow.

Dear Louie and Family,
We offer our sympathy at this time of Janelle's passing. I knew Janelle from growing up at State Line Presbyterian Church in the 50's and have seen her occasionally over the years.
My husband, Harlan, is actually a 2nd cousin of Janelle's, through the Klinkenborgs; his grandmother, being Sallie Klinkenborg Beek, wife of Aggo.
