I enjoyed working with Janet in Financial Aid at Seattle Pacific. Along with doing satisfying work, we shared family joys and concerns. Our work was always better together, collaborative and supportive. Janet was a great co-worker and boss, and a dear friend. Keeping her family in my prayers for peace and comfort. I am sorry not to be able to attend the service.
