  7. I am beside myself at the moment. I had no idea of Jannette’s passing. I was her travel agent for many years at Clear Lake Travel. I booked both her personal and compamy travel. I will never forget when she called me from Arizona and had to get to Florida because one of the boys had been bitten by a shark while surfing. Jannette was such a beautiful person , an absolute Lady. I enjoyed our many talks and have thought of her ogten over the years. I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless you all.
