Janet's book, both a tribute and Bio, called Diamond Girl, will be released on all outlets in early November. It contains her early life, career, accomplishments and shows her vibrant and ebullient personality. Janet was a tireless advocate of education and following your passion.

Mrs. Richards was a shining star of Mercerville & the HTSD. She was a truly inspirational woman. Her positive impact on my childhood, my education, and my overall trajectory in life is immeasurable. May we all aspire to have a heart as big as hers. Rest peacefully.
