Ralph and family, I'm sorry to hear of Janet's passing. I remember her well from growing up in the church in North Granby in the 1960s. She was so welcoming and gracious offering hot chocolate and goodies after some of our youth events. And she was passionate in her singing in choir. Hope you are all finding comfort in memories of her life, lived so much for others.
