Dear Dave, Jon, and Sam, it's been a long time -- way too long since the last time I saw Janet, but over the years we'd keep in touch through Deb and occasional emails and she was often in my thoughts. I had a very minor breast cancer scare last summer and remembering Janet's constant optimism and strength, kept me calm through all the difficult procedures. I remember her telling me that there was no choice but to keep a positive outlook and move forward. Janet loved you all very much. She always mentioned Sam and Jon with such pride. Keep her love with you always and move forward through life with the joy and compassion Janet shared with so many. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

To the King & Sullivan Family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you. I was a co-worker and good friend of Janet, when we worked at Data Printer in Malden. We shared many laughs and good times. Janet always had a great smile and was a joy to be around. I'm sorry that I had not seen her in many years, but I often thought of her. She will be in my prayers.
