So sorry for your loss. Condolences to the family.

We moved to Kimball Farms a year ago and immediately noticed that our neighbors directly across the hall had an identical pig door stop like ours. What a crazy coincidence! We soon met Herb and Janet, the most welcoming and kind neighbors we could ever hope for. Goes to show how special pig lovers are! Janet always had a smile that was infectious and brightened our days. Although we knew her too briefly and at a time of her struggles, we truly enjoyed the time we spent with Janet and...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Sincerely Leah Winter and Paul Winter

Janet and I were classmates at Simmons. I was pleased to reconnect at one of our reunions when my husband, Andy and I sat with her and Herb and shared the common aspects of our lives. In addition to having the same first name, we were both married to lawyers, had two daughters and beloved grandchildren and were engaged in civic and spiritual activism. I am sending sincere condolences to her family. I know her memory will be an inspiration and a blessing.

Herb - Len and I were so sorry to hear of Janet's passing. When we first moved to South Deerfield and went to services at Temple Israel when we were synagogue shopping, Janet insisted that we come back with you for tea after services and subsequently invited us for dinner. I never forgot that. She was a warm, wonderful woman. We are thinking of you.

In 1968, when my family-Donna, Walter, Lisa, and I-settled in Greenfield, the first to welcome us were our next-door neighbors, Herb and Janet, along with their two daughters, Andrea and Emily. We quickly became close friends, a bond that endured even after I retired from my ophthalmology practice and moved to Southern California. I often think back fondly to the trip the four of us took to Napa Valley, driving my new Tesla. It was a wonderful adventure filled with laughter and memories....
