I had heard so many wonderful things about Janet's warmth and graciousness from many friends and acquaintances in Newport. I finally had the pleasure of meeting her through her beautiful daughter, Marianna, while they were in Florida years ago. And it confirmed everything I had heard. My heart goes out to Marianna and her siblings and their families on the loss of a such a special woman.
