Janet and I were best friends in Junior High, and spent nearly every day together on weekends and during the summer. I felt like the sister she didn't have, and her parents (and her dog, Duchess) treated me like a member of the family. We began to lose touch in high school, but I always had a soft spot in my heart for her. She was light-hearted, fun, honest and caring. I agree with Paul Fortini (to whom she introduced me, which led to my having a huge adolescent crush on him!) that the really great people from childhood are the ones who stand out.

Janet and I were friends at the Lutheran Church in Newton. I remember how kind and generous she was. Seems like you always remember the best people you knew as a kid. My condolences to Janet's family.
