We were so sorry to hear about Janet's passing. She was a beautiful person inside and out. She faced this cruel disease with dignity and grace and whenever we ran into her she always wanted to know how we were doing or asked about the kids. We will always remember her as a young, fun-loving mom who was devoted to her family. Our hearts break for your loss.
