Talk about a class act. Great Aunt Janet and her family have always made me feel welcome at Tubby Street, and I´m thankful to have known Hank, my grandfather, a little bit better through their warmth, kindness, and hospitality. I´ll always carry those feelings with me.

To Tommy and the extended Brocco Family, I am totally overcome with emotion trying to write this. All the memories come flooding back to when we were kids growing up on Tubby and VanGaasbeck St's, me at your house you at mine. Your family gatherings where I was always welcomed and the summer's spent in the pool and at Hutton park causing mayhem! Through it all your mother was a constant presence who always treated me like gold and I will never forget that, ever.

Your mother was like a second mother to me and if there is a heaven, there is nobody that deserves to be there more than her. She will be sorely missed. Godspeed Janet, I will always remember you.

To the family, my sincerest thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May God grant you comfort and peace in your time of grief and sorrow.
Janet was a very kind woman. Whenever my husband and I visited, she'd always make a fresh pot of coffee. Serving up snacks with it. I will fondly remember your mom.
