May Janet RIP. My condolences go out to her family and other loved ones. We were classmates at FHS and she married one of my good friends from high school - - - Harry or "H" as he preferred to be called. I didn't know that she played golf, but I knew Harry did - - in fact, he and I used to play in our earlier days of school. She was such a nice girl in high school and was liked by all who knew her.

Janet made a difference in all the lives she touched with her love, joy, and sense of humor. Always a smile on her face. A fierce momma bear to her cubs - sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Jim and I are grateful for the brief time she was part of our lives. She touched our hearts. She will be missed.

To the whole family, Sorry to hear of Janet passing. I am so glad I got to see her this past spring. Janet and I went back many years and I tried to see her every time I came to Springfield and spoke many times on the phone. I will miss her, she put up a good fight for many years but the illness finally took her. May she rest in peace. Dorothy (Rehwald) Kochik......Passaic, New Jersey
