Not sure what to say?

Janet was there at the beginning of women's ice hockey at Colby. I was the team's advisor, and we had an ambitious program. She was always present, always focused, and she never doubted the team's goals. A cheerleader for everyone, she manifested the very best qualities of a teammate. She was our leader; we all looked to her to see every game and situation through. Hail Colby.

Heartfelt condolences to Mark and Janet´s family. It has been many years since we all worked together at BKB. I will be eternally grateful for Janet´s mentoring that led me to meet my husband in Treasury.

I was privileged to play ice hockey with Janet at Colby College. What fun she was on that fledgling team with all the practices, games, bus trips and parties. She was always upbeat and encouraging and her skills surpassed many of us. What an energized life she lead and how lucky all of us on her team were to have that time with her!

Condolences to the extended family. I never met Janet, but through discussions with her sister, Ginny, I know that she was an amazing woman and truly loved by everyone.

Condolences to Janet´s very large and loving family. I never had the privilege of meeting Janet, although I have heard through her sister Ginny about Janet and the admirable life she led. Janet, rest in peace.
