I knew Janet long ago when Tom was a distinguished colleague, and she was a fine musician, lovely friend, and great cook. I'm so sorry to have lost contact with them, but I'll always cherish the fond memories, and I send my sincere sympathy to Tom and the family.

I had the privilege of knowing Janet for many years and was able to hear her play her organ in her own home. She was such a sweet and sincere woman with a heart of gold.
