I am saddened greatly by this loss.
Janet was easily my favorite person here at the Whittier because of her intellect and because she was so easy to talk to. Her caring and acceptance of others had a brilliance all it's own I will never forget. I will miss her deeply.

Dear Michael and Alayna, words cannot express the loss you've both experienced.

We will all miss her terribly. All our best, Wayne and Becky Benjamin.
