To Janet'sFamily,
I only found out today of Janet's untimely passing. I always enjoyed seeing her. She always had a smile, and a wonderful easy-going nature. I am sorry for your loss.

I was grateful for the opportunity to know and work with Janet at the Jewish Historical Society. She was a super dependable volunteer and a most pleasant person. We will miss her.

Auntie,
Words cannot express my feelings right now. I am still not able to comprehend that I will never hear your voice and get to have lunch with you. I had so much to learn from you and I will try my best to learn those things on my own now. I will never forget our birthday lunches (you still owe me one for the big 3-0) and of course “pasta surprise”. The look of horror on my face and your hysterical laughter as Bruiser helped himself to my bowl will always be etched in my mind. ...
