Remembering Janet Bowering on this, the anniversary of her death. As long as we remember, her spirit dwells in and among us. A very fine woman.

I met Janet through Universalist Convocations, but knew of her even earlier from the Universalists in North Carolina who loved her dearly and through her work with the UU Women's Heritage Society, now the Unitarian Universalist History and Heritage Society. I honor her memory and her devotion to the ministry. She will be missed.
I'm sorry for your loss as her family, and I'm also sorry for our loss as a religious movement.

Dear Dianna,
I am so sorry for your loss.I remember a wonderful New Years Eve when your parents opened their home to a bunch of tired women who had spent a long week at winter camp, at CBC! I have fond memories of that time.
