Janet was the social worker at Countryside Elementary for 12 years. She worked every week with my special ed. students. She always had a positive outlook, beaming smile, and reassuring words for students and adults. She was also a dear friend, and we had many laughs together. My heart-felt prayers are with you and your family. I know Janet is finally living peacefully with God in heaven.

I still remember going into Russ's I.G.A. and Janet looking totally bored. I guess she had other interests. Such a cutie. I know Elaine and Kenny have many good memories and I hope you're both doing well.
