I remember meeting Janet when we moved to Oxford 35 years ago, and being very taken by her warmth, her friendliness, her humor, her total lack of pretense and her playful, no nonsense attitude. Although, as the years went by, our paths rarely crossed it was always a treat for me when I did run into her because she was exactly the way I always remembered her. Please know I join all of you and the countless others in mourning your and Oxford's loss. She was a treasure.

Dear Marvin,
Janet was such a beautiful person in so many ways. I will always cherish my childhood memories of her and our early times together. I was the fortunate one as she was always looking out for my best interests. Far away or near she was always very special to me and will always remain so.
May your wonderful and loving memories of Janet sustain you and your family through this sad time.
God Bless you.

When we spoke at the Ross-Edgewood basketball game you mentioned that your wife was ill. I should have asked more about her. We will keep you in our prayers.

Marvin and family-It is with sincere sympathy that I learned of Janet's passing. A kind, lovely lady who had an infectious smile, who took time to show kindness and friendship to my Mother (Erma McCreary). She was an angel to our Mother and we were so very thankful for her. I can imagine Mom and Janet swinging under a big tree in heaven visiting with each other once again. May peace be with you and your family and may your fond memories of your lovely wife and Mother stay with you always.

My brother Dan and I were sorry to hear of the passing of your wife, Marv. I remember her as such a kind lady, back when you were a coach and principal at Talawanda. My prayers are with you and your family during this time. Ironically, Dan and I were just remembering our school days with you the other day, and wondering how you were doing. I know that you will miss her greatly, but that God will sustain you in the weeks ahead. My He be your great comfort.

JANET WAS A GREAT WIFE, MOTHER, AND NEIGHBOR. We (Ruth Ann & Galye Cowling, Joyce and Fred) remember her as a very caring person that always looked after mom because we did not live in Oxford. Marvin thanks for sharing Janet with mom and thanks for everything you have done for mom. God decided it was time for her to come home after she got wish to be here for Christmas. Our prayers are with the entire family.
