Learned recently of the death of your Mom and our dear friend Janet. It was your Mom and Dad that took my deceased wife Lillian and me" under their wings" when we moved to Lancaster. We became very fast friends. (even though we were pharmaceutical competitors). They treated us great. Your parents were just wonderful people. You can be mighty proud of them!!!

How well and fondly I remember Janet, and just as she has been described--with a constant smile on her face. She was always a welcoming and gentle presence and a pleasure to be around, as was her husband Leon.

I wish you fond memories of when Janet shared life with you, that in the future you may continue to give thanks for her life which was shared with you. May her legacy be a source of strength and hope.
