I had the pleasure of working with Janet at Wells Fargo in Las Vegas for several years. Janet was that rare breed of kindness and compassion mixed with a refreshing down to earth style that you just don't run into often these days. She is missed greatly. My deepest sympathy to Janet's family.

I have always been profoundly touched by the incredible close relationship Janet had with her family and friends. I feel proud to have been included. Though we were separated by four thousand miles, Janet and Annie had long, intense and funny phone calls each week, and it made the distance melt. She was but one of a terrific family, but unique, and irreplaceable. My own memories of Janet go back to her days at Kent State, and then a multitude of wonderful family gatherings. I know many are left with a wealth of good times to remember.
She enjoyed a good glass of wine, so I sit here in France and toast you, Janet. We love you. Au revoir.

Whoever wrote about Janet chose their words wisely to describe her. She really was one of the kindest people I've ever met. I got to know Janet when she worked at ComDoc and was priviledged to call her my friend. My sincere condolences to Dean, Anne and to all of us who loved her.

To a friend that was always ready to lend an ear or offer in any way that she could. I am honoured to have known you and called you my friend and neighbor. The world could certainly use more people like you. It's truly a sad day when we loose one of the good people of the world. You will be missed. God bless the next life.
