Jeanne Françoise (Peter) "Janot" Ruggles

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Madame Ruggles. She was a wonderful teacher and I will never forget my high school French classes with her. She was innovative and passionate about the French language and an inspiring teacher. I think of her often especially when I travel in French speaking countries! Thank you Madame Ruggles for your dedication to your students and the French language.

Always a lady in the dearest of terms. Devoted to husband and family and the mother of 3 wonderful and talented daughters. I was privileged to know her. Condolences to the family. Jacque Smith

We are all so sorry to hear of your loss, and our prayers and love are with you and your girls during this sad time. Victoria, Daniel, OrtonIII, and Robert

May the fond memories ,family & friends get you through this most difficult of times

Dear Tom,
Our hearts and prayers are with you.
David and Sally Benjamin

Dear Tom, My sincerest sympathies go out to you. I know exactly what you are going through. One piece of advice I received, keep busy. It helps.
Take care, Tillie Sweet

My deepest condolences to Tom, Rebecca, Molly and Dede. Janot was one of the loveliest people to know. Always full of humor and life. I know how deeply you will miss her. Warmest thoughts, Maureen DeVoe

TOM. we didn't get to spend nearly enough time with the two of you but your love and devotion to each other was apparent and will always serve as a model for us as we make our next journey. Take care of yourself and your family, keep on "Being Prepared" and wash the jam off of that cat before you go out to play. ..your friend, Huck.

"Tom: Your fellow musicians love you and your generous, expressive spirit. Your Maple Sugar Jazz Band friends wish you comfort in knowing that we mourn your loss of Janot, whom you have so lovingly mentioned faithfully in your vocal choruses of "My Blue Heaven". Whenever you sang "Just Janot and Me", we were inspired by your devotion to her. You both have set a heartwarming example for the rest of us.
We have you both in our hearts."

had a beautiful generousity and calmness that will be missed.
