How Janet got involved in the laughter/humor movement.
|
| |
In 1995, Janet met Vanessa Vendola who had come to her to help her publish her book, The Seven Laws of Laughter as Janet owned a desktop publishing business. The idea of laughter unleased a passion and drive in Janet, who had lost her beloved husband, Allan in Oct 1994. Janet always had a gift of a great attitude and a memorable laugh and her husband, Allan was the funny one in the family. He was always lighthearted, telling jokes and spreading happiness, even with his illness and many hospitalizations.
Janet's son,Timothy was just eight years old at the time of Allan's death and he too missed Allan's jokes and great sense of humor.
