I knew Janet from Aquinas College in the seventies. She was clear headed, moral and I loved her as a dear friend. I remember visiting her family home in Mt. Pleasant. That was a big family! I'm sad to hear of her passing and will miss her.

We were so very sad to learn of Janet's passing. I have such cherished memories of singing in the GRWC with her in the 90s, and what a good friend she was. We also had some great times at MWMF and I loved her stories of the early days there. Her sense of humor was unforgettable, and I valued getting her perspective on a situation - she was patient with me in my exuberant youth! Sandy remembers that Janet was one of the very first people she met when visiting me in GR, and how friendly and fun Janet was. They shared some good laughs together. My heart is so sad to know Janet's bright and lovely spirit is gone from this earth. Sandy and I send our sincere condolences and heaps of love to Ruth and all of Janet's family and friends. May her memory be a blessing.

Much love and condolences to all of Janet's family and loved ones. I had the privilege of being in the Choir with Janet for many years. She is an amazing spirit, understated humor and the quiet wisdom that kept us all together. I'm very sad about her passing. Much love to all.

I'm so sorry for your family and friends. I remember Janet At Sacred Heart, she always seemed like the strongest girl I'd ever met. Too bad cancer took her down! Warmest wishes to all of you, my prayers are with you,

We are so sad to learn of Janet's passing. Janet's love of animals inspired all of us to rescue animals. Her gifts of humor, sarcasm and kindness were evident in every conversation. Her outlook on life was contagious and we always felt her 'heavenly presence'. As we age, we look back on the people who gave us their spirits to enjoy here on Earth. Janet was an angel sent by God to bring out the best in each of us. Rest in peace, Janet and keep them smiling in heaven! with love from Martha Boutet and Bonnie Brusk

We are so grateful for our long friendship with Janet and Ruth, and that we could be there for most of the noontime circles during Janet's last month. Ruthie, we can't imagine your loss, and will keep you close.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ruth and Janet via my friend Linell Crampton this past year. While I only saw Janet a few times and was able to golf with her and the other ladies this summer she was so nice and had a wonderful caring heart and good sense of humor. You will be missed by all and may you rest in peace. To Ruth and her family I send prayers for comfort during this difficult time and may you draw on the wonderful memories of a life well lived.

Janet, it was an honor to know you ... to be part of the pixels of your life story. You are going to be missed more than any of us realize right now. It's hard to believe that you aren't here ... although, knowing you, you will find ways to let us know you're always around in some way! Love you always ...
