Middlebury Class Reunion

In remembrance every day. Peace

Janet will be so missed.

Dear Doug, This was so beautiful. I saw it all. You were so strong and had such dignity and held everyone together in such a beautiful way. Jeffrey is so handsome and was so good to call me. Thankyou Jeffrey 1000 times for calling me. I never heard a best friend speak so beautifully about her best friend.. I heard from darling Janet so often when I would ask about you, and she never said a word about herself. I will call you, but in the meantime, my arms are around you with the love of a sister to a brother. I loved seeing all the Children. You and Betty and Janet and Jeffery are part of me forever. I love you with all my heart, marcia

Rest in peace Janet. You will be missed by so many. Genuine, positive, and a beautiful soul. Love and condolences to your family and friends.

My heart goes out to Hunter and Wesley, to all of Janet's family, and to Curtis. She was remarkable. Janet and I were classmates at Middlebury College. From the first, I admired her grace, her intelligence, her strength, and her kindness. I remember watching her dance-gravity did not seem to affect her! She had an innate sense of rhythm and how to express herself through movement. I made it through my one dance class thanks to Janet's kindness in practicing with me. When my mother looked through our Class of 1979 yearbook, she stopped at Janet's senior photo and said, "This is the most beautiful woman in your class." And she was-beautiful inside and out. As others have said, my most indelible memory from our 40th reunion is the storytelling event where Janet spoke of her reconnection with Curtis, her beloved college boyfriend, and Curtis then stood up and said he wasn't going to let her go this time. We all cried and their happiness filled us all with joy. Thank you for your friendship, Janet. You inspire me even now to be a better friend. Godspeed, Janet

With sincere condolences for my Dear Friend and Sister-Mom Janet. We served on the Board of our Stamford Jack and Jill Chapter together, and continued being great friends after she graduated. Will truly missed our warm conversations and her sense of humor. May God's grace help each of you through this difficult time.

Hunter & Welsey -
During my time in Jack & Jill your mother would so lovingly dote on her children. She loved you deeply and would have done anything and everything to ensure your happiness and future success. My deepest condolences for your loss. May the Lord direct and guide you in the months and years ahead.

So sorry for the loss of Janet she was such a lovey person. I so enjoyed seeing her again at Wilton High School reunion. May Janet rest In peace .

To the Jones and Shipp families, Curtis, and dear friends of Janet, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of such a beautiful life. I met Janet (and family) in 1963. I baby sat Janet and Jeff from `63-65 until I left for college. As an adult, I saw in Janet the fine character of both her mom and dad. We were in touch through the years. The world is a better place because of her presence and we are all better and increased in some manner because she touched our lives.

Hunter and Wesley, I am so very sorry to hear the news about your Mother. She was an incredible woman who loved you to the moon and back. My most sincere condolences.

Janet I was blessed to see you again at our 40th Middlebury College Reunion. It was a double treat to be amongst you & Curtis when the announcement was made that you two college love birds were engaged to be married.

My heart was filled with much joy!
Thank you for all the smiles and
joy you´ve brought to us in this life

My sincere condolences. Janet was the sweetest and kindest and warm-hearted person I know. I am so sorry to hear about this news.
Lorna and family

To the Jones Family, the Shipp Family, and to my long time football teammate and friend of more than 42 years, Curtis Singleton, all of you have my most sincere and deepest condolences and prayers at this time in our loss of Janet. I was one of those friends from Middlebury that would see Janet at our reunions. Our last reunion, our 40th, was for some reason extra special. The weather was extra beautiful there in Vermont. The spirit of those that attended that particular reunion was extra joyous. And to add to that weekend there, Curtis and Janet had announced their engagement. There was a gathering of students from our class that weekend at the campus sports arena, the Field House, where the hockey and basketball games were played. The gathering was to allow any student who wanted to share a story about their life to do so. Among the many there, Janet was one that spoke. One of the things Janet shared was how absolutely happy she was to "finally" be engaged to Curtis Singleton. She was just beaming all over. They both were. So to hear about Janet´s transition was, among so many things, such a disappointment, that those two great individuals and dear friends of mine, would not have the opportunity to finally be wedded in marriage. Well, in spirit I know that they were already and that they always will be. Janet, you will be missed! I´ll see you at the resurrection!

Janet was amazing at every turn. She supported her parents in the third stage of their lives with every once of her being. I will miss her example of how to live a compassionate life benefitting others. Peace

Janet was a rare diamond from Zorzor, a daughter of a rare family, and she lived up to her royalty. I already miss our daily talks. I know in my heart that I will see her again...because I always do.
