Janet was a frequent visitor to our library in Swartz Creek. She always made time to visit and had many funny stories, observations and wisdom to share with us. She absolutely made this world a better place.

Sending hugs and prayers to all of you. I loved your mom I actually spent time with her back in the day, when we were both much younger. She will be back with Pete, I hope that gives you comfort. RIP

Well done Tracy in giving a tribute to your mom that conveys who and what she was in the world. Your expression "she made the world a better place" is so true and the epitome of what she was. In encompasses what she was but does not convey completely her influence on those she loved and showed that love to. Easy to say but not easy to do day after day making others feel better just because they are and are loved. She leaves a hole in the love universe and will be missed with the memories of...
