Not sure what to say?

I am so incredibly thankful for having Janet in my life. She taught me so many invaluable lessons and I will forever hold her memory with the upmost respect, admiration and love.

We were so sorry to hear about Janet´s passing, and our thoughts are with Mike, Ellen, Emily and the entire family.

I´m considered Janet a mentor and friend. I always appreciated her quick wit and abundant insight. I will forever be changed by her presence in this world.

May Janet´s beautiful heart and memory be a comfort to all who knew her. She was always such a kind, grounding, and safe soul to engage with and I know I am forever grateful for her support when I was a young fledgling starting my way in the Social Work sphere. May her light brighten the sky

Janet was instrumental in helping me begin a new career as a social worker late in life. Her support and assistance encouraged me, and I will always be grateful for her help and guidance.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

I had some great talks w Janet while a grad student and on the faculty at PSU SSW. She was the opposite of me w her calm demeanor but always listened well. Glad she had a good life.
