She was one Heck of a person, and will be in the hearts of everyone she knew until the end.

Beloved Friend, we truly will never forget you! You and your family will forever be in my prayers. I remember trying to talk you out of working in a WTC tower, and you telling me that your job at Aon allowed you to care for your children in a way other jobs couldn’t. The only peace I can find in your passing is the belief that you are in Heaven watching over them with all the love you brought to this life, and with which you surrounded them. I love you and them. I will miss you until I see you again, and I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

I just found out about Janet! When we were little kids we lived on the same block.I knew her and we played together with all the other kids that also lived in our area.I knew her little brother Jimmi and her older brother Greg. I didn't know Janet as an adult but the young girl I knew was beautiful inside and out. She was sweet, caring and funny. And she had the most mesmerizing eyes and brilliant smile.Even though I hadn't seen her in years, I have so often thought about her.My heart breaks to know her life was cut short and in such a tragic way.Condolences to the Hendricks family. Janet,I have never forgotten you and I never will. Love to you sweet lady.RIP

I miss you, Janet. We had some fun times together in the 1960's and 1970's. I'll never forget our trip to Philadelphia in July 1976 for the Bicentennial. May you rest in peace.

My heart is still so broken that you are not here. You were the person to go to when my world would be turned upside down. You just had that way of lifting anyone spirits and showing how to put things in proper perspective. I will forever miss you my beautiful friend.

Janet, your laughter, smile and great sense of humor and compassion continually remind me of what life is about. There is so much unkindness in the world, I choose to look at life like you did....with an incredible heart of compassion. I choose to remember your life not your death. When I come to New York to do the marathon I will look you up. On second thought, all I have to do is look in my heart and I can find you there, not on some wall or memorial. I am such a better person having know you. I have told so many people how you used to freeze your credit cards in ice trays to keep from spending. You will always make me laugh and smile!!! Bless you and your family!

It is now 10 years my friend, and I still miss you. I know you must be up there saying now stop that crying and get on with it. But Janet, you have no idea how much you are missed. You were always that shoulder for me and so many others. In my whole life I will probably never meet another woman that is as strong, kind, accepting, compassionate and warm as you. I will always miss you.

Even after 9 years I am still so heartbroken that you are gone. I miss you everyday. I will never be able to look at a Beanie Baby and not feel sad and laugh at the same time thinking of you. You brought so much life to the office and you always knew the right things to say when someone was down. Always right there to give anyone a hug when they needed it. I often wonder when the tears will stop for me. I truly loved you and I will always miss you.

More than a moment of silence, on this day and everyday may we use our lives to honor and respectfully remember you.

Janet, what I wouldn't give to have one more laugh or one more cry with you. Just one more conversation about Omega, our kids, Aon and the list goes on. As time goes by, the longing to see you again is still so strong. You will forever be in my heart.

Today I drove my son to Brooklyn from NJ and took the "N" Train to the city. Upon exiting the train on 14th Street, I came upon the wall memorial with the names of all the people lost on 9/11. I walked straight towards it and staring me in the face was your name, Janet. Someone had written beside it that you had a wonderful son and daughter and I just stood there and said a little prayer. Now I am at work and find out today is "Your Birthday". My dear friend, how I miss you and will always remember you. I feel as though we are touching each others heart today and plan to light a candle at church for this special day and for those two beautiful children you added to our world.

Having lost three very special friends from AON my husband and I went down to the site to pay our respects for the 2nd anniversary. We had heard that our friend Nancy Bueche had been with Janet at the time of the horror. We wanted to pray for Janet as well as Nancy, Sheila Barnes and Eileen Greenstein and noticed that Janet's name is not listed on the memorial placque down at the site. We checked all of the placques and could not find Janet Hendricks name at all. We want to make sure that it was not an oversite and that she gets her respects when it becomes a final memorial. If anyone knows her family please notify them so they can make the correction.
Rest in peace Janet

Janet,
As I sit here today and think about the events of two years ago I wanted you to know that you are never far from my thoughts, especially on April 9th. I will never forget our last conversation when you gave me that marble heart and told me to remember that the heart is what it is all about. That was you to the "t". You are truly one of a kind and will never be replaced nor forgotten. Hope you are safe - don't worry about us down here - we are slowly finding our way to remembering the good times and for that we thank you. You are now an angel on our shoulders and I sure feel your presence today of all days.
Lots of love, Betsy

Janet was my friend and stitching buddy. We had wonderful times together. I miss her humour, intelligence and compassion. My heart aches for the loss of her and for her family. I know she is looking over all of us. We couldn't have a better angel. The world lost a wonderful person.

I know that Janet would not want me to be grieving for her anymore. I know that she would say I am being silly, since she and I agreed in our beliefs about immortality - and I do know her immortal spirit is up there watching over all of us. She would want me, and all of us, to laugh at the good memories and focus on living, and becoming the people she inspired us to be. Yet I still find my tears welling up every time some newscaster mentions 9/11, and all I can think about is Janet. As the 11th of September comes around again, my heart goes out to everyone, who like me, has yet to learn to live with losing her. May God grant us the peace that Janet would want us to have, and allow us to remember all the good times we shared with her with joy, to lessen our sorrow.

I had the pleasure of working with Janet while at AON. She was one of my favorite people to work for. She was fun,caring,understanding and creative. I will forever cherish the pictures i have of her jumping rope with some table napkins she tied together during one of our christmas parties, but words can't express the sympathy i have for her family for their loss on 9/11/01. Not a week goes by that I don't think of her and her smiley face and good humor. Janet was a beautiful person and GOD certainly does have an angel. She adored her husband and children and i would like to send my condolences to them although it is 2 years later. May your family find peace and comfort in the many people that loved her as well. R.I.P. Janet Hendricks, you will never be forgotten.

I worked with Janet for 6 years. She knew how to have fun. She also always had an ear for listening, for anyone who needed one. Even after I left Aon, I would still call her with "baby" questions which she happily helped me with. Heaven has an angel.

Janet - Your spirit is with us still - I can feel it ... surrounding us with your love, and wisdom we can't always comprehend. I celebrate the immortality of your spirit, and pray for us all that we find the grace to understand and accept losing your physical presence in this world before any of us were ready. We miss you. Love always - a friend.

Janet Hendricks and I were in the class of 1975 at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, CA. Ours was a small college - only 200 students in our graduating class. Only very recently was there a notice in the alumni magazine that Janet had died in the World Trade Center.
I did not know Janet really well. We weren't room-mates or suite-mates. Did we take any classes together? I don't remember. Yet I knew her. As soon as I read the news about her, I knew that I knew her. I looked her up in the yearbook. I remember that smily face, that looked like she'd just cracked a great joke! Have you ever seen the picture of her in the yearbook, of Janet playing donkey basketball? She was a fun warm, irreverent person - qualities greatly admired by the rest of us in that strait-laced little school.
As I read the other guest book entries, I see clearly that Janet remained true to form throughout her life. If ever I had come to New York, I definitely would have liked to look her up.
I feel pain and sadness to hear of her death. I wanted to reach out to you, her family. You are and will be in my thoughts.
If you'd like copies of her yearbook pictures, I'd be happy to do that for you. It seems like so little to offer. You can contact me at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Catherine Fuller

Dear Janet,
Right after September 11th of last year I dreamed about you. You were walking down my street. I saw you and thought, "This is incredible, she's alive". I ran up to you and hugged you. And we walked into a house where we sat on the stairs together. We talked and held hands it was a dream that touched my heart, I guess because you touched my heart. This was the first and last dream I've had where someone who has passed away has come to me. I thought if anyone could survive, it could be you. I knew you were a strong woman. Aon has lost some of their best employees. And you definately top the list. You'll never be forgotton. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers forever.
Much love!

Janet,
Your wry sense of humor, bubbly laughter and beautiful smile is missed.
With each stitch I take, I think of you and say a small prayer asking the Lord to give your family peace and comfort knowing that you are with Him and are watching over them always.

In memory of Janet Hendricks
We did not know Janet, but my husband is the brother of Cam Sutton who works for Aon. I came across this on the internet and wanted to express our deepest sympathy. I have thought of all the lives lost that day and especially of the ones from my brother-in-laws company. It still hurts deeply. Our deepest deepest sympathy to the family.

Not a single day goes by without my thinking about Janet, more often than not with tears in my eyes. Our daughters were born two days apart, so Ellen, you will always be in my heart. I know your Mom is watching over you as surely as I know anything in this world. What I always remember most about Janet, even more than how funny she was, what a great friend she was and how much I loved her, is how much she loved her daughter and son and husband. She would speak of you with tears of pride and joy in her eyes. She will always be with us.

Janet, although my life will never be the same without you, I know how much richer it is for having known you. You were one of the kindest, warmest and most compassionate people I knew. You have touched so many lives and have been so kind and generous to so many people. We often talk about you in the office (at least once a day) and if we are not crying, then we are hysterical laughing at something you said or did. You always knew how to brighten my day and put a smile on my face. I often think about the Beanie Baby craze that you lured me into. I will never forget the days we stood on line at Hallmark to buy one of the new beanies and you would entertain me and whoever else was on line. And then there were all the happy meals we would buy and make other people eat for the teanie beanies. You were always so much fun to be around and I loved all the crazy things you would say and do. And then there were the company Christmas parties. You would be dancing with a plastic Santa Clause or jumping rope on the dance floor. You have given me a million laughs and I will treasure those memories forever. I truly love and miss you. I will keep you and your family in my heart forever.

America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
