I graduated from DHS with Janet and then got to really know her all over again (along with Paul) as she fought cancer. What a fighter. When the boro of Downingtown has such nasty storms on Mon eve (6/24), I couldn't help but think that Janet was behind it reminding us of her always bigger than life spirit! To know her was to love her! May you, Paul and Tina, find comfort, in time, as you were at her side throughout her journey.

Janet was a classmate of mine at DHS, and I was lucky to hug her and talk to her at our 40th reunion. She was a good friend during our HS years and I always enjoyed watching her play her sports. I will be thinking of her and her family during these difficult times. Jerry Barwell
