My Husband worked with Janet. But, when I would visit with our son she made me feel as if I were family. She was always so kind to me and I cherished our talks about Motherhood ❤ She would graciously pause her work while our baby would jump into her lap. We will cherish his very 1st Christmas ornament that she engraved for him in 2017. I am so sorry for the loss of Janet. I pray for her family as she was so very special.

Dear Neil and family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you. Janet was so sweet. I will always remember her with her million dollar smile. Janet was always looking out for her parents and willing to help anyone.

May she rest In peace. All my love and prayers.

Ms. Janet was the sweetest & kindest person I’ve ever met. She was a huge supporter of our track & field programs at New Haven- and she personally offered the most honest and sincere advice both personally professionally. She adored her family and always gave me updates throughout the years. I will miss sending her smiling face and grabbing snacks off her desk. I pray for strength and healing to the entire family!
