Bob and I send our deepest sympathies. Being St. Mike's and Central grads, Bob and I shared a common link to Janet but with different memories. Bob - Brookside, Tennis and the connection to the rest of the Beldens. Me - classes, parties and overnights and memories extending to the rest of the Belden clan as well. All good and cherished memories. Janet will be missed.

Dear Joan, David, Bill, Bruce and Tom,
I was saddened to hear of Janet's death. Although it was all very long ago, I still have vivid memories of Janet visiting at our house - and of many of the Belden family for that matter. My thoughts are with you.

My prayers are with all the Beldens, including Bill, Tom, David, Bruce, and especially Joan, at this sad time. The photo of Janet reminds me of your parents, and brings back many happy memories of our shared childhood in Hills and Dales, at St Michael's, Central Catholic etc. It seems she was much too young, but then they always say that the good are the first to go... Much love and God bless you all.

I send my most heartfelt sympathy to all of the Belden family. From childhood on 22nd Street till now, I will always remember Janet as a serious friend. We had a "friend's reunion" in 1994 in New York City and had such fun sharing all of the memories. Christmas cards still connected us this last year--I will miss Janet Marilyn, as Rat called our dear friend.
I always enjoyed the Belden's---all of the families were strong and supportive units. I send my words of sympathy to all who loved Janet.

Dear Beldon Family:
Though I reside in Los Angeles, there isn't a day that goes by I don't read the
Canton Rep. My heart sank when I saw
Janets obituary. We were in the came
class at St. Mikes. The days of
Mnsgr Hartmann and Sister Rosine. My
prayers are with you for this unexpected loss. God bless all of you.
With sincere sympathy,
Gary E Erwin
