I am so sorry to hear of Janet's passing. Our offices at Bunker Hill Community College were directly across from each other, and we shared many a laugh, and were always there for each other on difficult days, too! I will truly miss her lovely face and wonderful, sunny personality. She was a wonderful lady!
Sincere condolences to the entire family,
Donna Misrati

Aunt Janet always had room for me when I was far from home at school. She and Uncle Paul are forever in my heart.

Sympathy to Janet's family. Janet was a classmate at Laboure School of Nursing. She was a talented and generous musician, playing the piano happily for shows and our pleasure. Janet was also an effective and enthusiastic class president.

I continued to see Janet from time to time at professional meetings. She was a highly respected nurse educator@ Northeastern.

I am sorry that I am unable to attend her services.

Rest In peace.

Eileen J. Plunkett and the CLSN Class of
1955.
