Poor Janet sat next to me in two classes at Niskayuna HS. I'm amazed we even passed. All we did was joke around and laugh. Great memories.

Janet was a favorite person to our family. She will be missed and thought of often. We know she is with our mom (Toni Lee) drinking coffee and playing pinochle, their two favorite things. Our prayers and thoughts will be with her family today. - Mikki, Susie, and Jay Laska.
