How fortunate we were to live across the street from Janet in NY. Whenever her flowers come up in their old yard across the street, year after year, I will continue to think of her. Particularly, the special stories she and David shared with us about the birth of their two girls as we awaited the birth of our first child. Janet's love of family, friends and neighbors was truly a blessing.

Janet was my neighbor in Slingerlands, NY, we shared many good times. We loved to have lunch at Four Corners, go to Williamstown to watch plays, she tried to teach me about gardening, and we did a lot of shopping (and returning to Lowes).I will miss Janet dearly, she was an awesome lady. How lucky we were to have Janet touch our hearts. My thoughts are with David, Rachel, Rebecca.

I was saddened to learn the news of Janet's passing. She was a classmate and friend during our time together at Upper Heyford High School in England. We always had spirited conversations! I know she will be dearly missed by many. My love and prayers go to her family.

We remember Janet fondly, the warm smile, the generous spirit. We treasure the memories of shared sukkah parties and potluck movie nights and the treasure trove of fabric for the girls to use when we made purses together. David, Rachel, and Rebecca our hearts go out to you with love.

I just heard the sad news. I met Janet over twenty years ago when she was a manager at Simon and Schuster. I was interviewed by her and took the job primarily because I connected so well with her. She was a wonderful person with a beautiful heart. In fact, even though I haven't seen Janet for over 15 years, I was thinking about her last week. She had that effect on people. She was very special and truly touched my life in many ways...

It is very heart breaking to know Janet is gone. She was a wonderful high sweet heart for those brief years I shared with her at Upper Heyford High School, England. It is heart warming to know she was a wonderful wife and mother.
Always remembered, Paul

I am very sorry to hear the sad news about Janet. I will always remember her wonderful bright smile and caring personality. Janet and I attended the 12th grade together at Upper Heyford High School in England. I will never forget her lesson to me on the proper way to sip soup while we sat next to each other at our Senior Prom dinner! My thoughts and prayers are with David, Rachel, Rebecca, and the rest of her family and friends.

We were terribly saddened to learn of Janet's passing. What we will especially remember are the Passover potluck movie nights, the Sukkah parties, games of pool. And I will also remember sorting through the clothes together with Janet for the annual garage sale.
Our hearts go out to the 3 of you: David, Rachel and Rebecca, and everyone else who will miss her.
Fondly, Doreen & Larry
