Dear Weyhrauch Family, It was a pleasure to have Janet as a friend for over 45 years. I enjoyed our times together and value the memories we made. Momo was a cherished soul. She always made you feel welcome and special and freely offered her advice regarding life, Love, Family and Politics. She was a beautiful person who will be missed. Thank you for sharing her with me.

Momo was an exuberant, vibrant, and unique woman who had a fulfilling, long life always surrounded by people who adored her. She built a beautiful, strong family who will carry on the traditions she cherished. Her creativity, energy and ability to engage anyone in conversation on nearly any topic will be deeply missed by all who knew her. We’re grateful for her enduring love of her Lord, whom she is with now, and are glad that she is finally free of suffering. She was the life of every party, and she will be terribly missed.

I sang with Jan in the First Plymouth Choir for many years. One of the warmest, kindest and funniest persons I have had the privilege to know. My deepest and most heartfelt sympathies to all of Jan’s family at this time of grief!

Dear Bruce and all Weyrauch kids and relatives: I was sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. My Mom and Janet enjoyed playing golf with each other for 4 decades. When I saw and talked to your Mom at the Lincoln Southeast Hall of Fame induction dinner a few years ago, it was nice to see her in such great shape. She had to have had a great long life with all of you. She will truly be missed.

– George Howard
