Not sure what to say?

Janet was a natural teacher and a perfect fit for middle school kids. She lead them to create beautiful works of art. Her end of the year parties were legendary. I´m so glad I got to know and work with her over the years. She was a gift

Rest in Peace & creativity dear teacher. Thank you for the oasis of safety, exploration and imagination you created! It was a life raft for me in 1970´s middle school through my parents divorce & a lot of chaos!

I could always count on fun when around Janet.
