I was so sorry to hear of Janet's passing. We worked together in Public Health Nursing. She made me laugh all the time. I use to see her walking her dog in Byram. My condolences to the family.

Janet and I joined the Greenwich Public Health Nursing Service the same year. We were friends for 58 years. when Charles died, I comforted her in the usual way, sincerely but briefly, but when my husband died, Janet called me every day for weeks. It was such a thoughtful gesture and I will treasure her kindness for the rest of my life. Thank you Susie for speaking with me. I´m sorry that I missed speaking to her, but she will be with me now. My condolences to all her loved ones.
