You are my Mom, my closest soul in life. I miss you so much, but I hope to see you in paradise someday where you reside now with the other saints and with God and his angels.
Love Ralph

My mother, Leah Janet, was the mother of 8 children. The amazing thing about this, is that she was able to be nurturing and supportive to all of us. My mother found time to be creative and was an expert seamstress and knitter. I am proud to be the daughter of such an awesome woman.
Mom, You really understood that we were all different, had different needs, and I feel as though you always understood what I needed. Thank you mom for being a great mom and a great role model.
Love, Denise

Mom.
You were the constant
You were the ear
You were the glue that kept your family near
I miss your voice completely and your eyes so blue and clear
I ache with pain and sadness at the loss of all the coming years
But tho I cannot see you.
I feel your presence here
Our conversation will continue inside my minds ear.
When asked by my children of their grandma
“What are lives most important values?“
Mom’s answer:
“Be a good and moral person, truthful and honest.
Try not to waste time on what has been,
focus on what is ahead and always do your best.”
Thank you for your unconditional love.
You have handed us the torch to carry on our way.
Your spirit lives on in your children, grandchildren and all the people you touched.
Love Pamela

I met Janet in 1982 when I spent a year in the Santa Clara area. We were instant friends and have stayed connected by cards & letters since. In 1995 I visited Janet & Dan in their home. Her family was her joy - she was a joy to know.

You weren't just my mother but my best friend. The one consolation is that I know you're in a better place now and you're at peace. I love you mom and I'll miss you immensely.
Love,
Greg

Janet attended Sacred Heart High School in Quincy Massachusetts. Her High School yearbook sums her up in these words " ...Her friends are infinite... and only the fact that she is Janet accounts for this infinity. To know her is to love her, and to love her wholesome good nature."
This has been true for Janet through her entire life. We love you Mom may you rest in peace and know that your children and grandchildren will be here on this earth striving to carry on your legacy of unconditional love and giving of self.
