Janet will be greatly missed by her friends and family. I am part of the Class of 1951 Saint Anns School group. Getting together again was wonderful to all of us. She will always be a part of our hearts!

I will cherish our meeting in Sept.2005 when the ladies from St. Ann's Grammar School met. She gave me strength that I didn't realize until now. Janet was and will be in my memory. She was the funny one in grammar school. I will miss her.

I attended the 50th Class Reunion for St. Joseph's Girls High School in Oct. with Janet. It was so nice to see and talk with her again. I never knew how sick she was until after the reunion. My deepest sympathy goes out to all her family and dear ones. I will remember all our many happy times with Janet and keep her in my prayers.
