I feel very sorry for Janet's family I only went and saw her once while in the hospital but she was on muond quite a bit. It was very hard for me to see her like that we had a nice friendship I always tried to be there for her first two bouts with cancer I mourn her loss RIP Janet

Laura and Seth,

I am very sorry to read this about your mom. She and I spent a totally unproductive, but entertaining year in an empty pediatric office in Westboro. We had to get creative to kill time. She was one of the nicest, most down to earth people I have ever met. Period. Seth was working at StopnShop and I think Laura, you were in middle school. She adored you guys and I recall her crazy stories about your father and his attempts at auto repairs. Whenever Ive been back to New England, Ive thought about looking her up and I wish I had. Cancer sucks. Accept my condolences.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother, Helene and Seth. She was a wonderful woman and friend of many years. I remember the trips to NY and to various other places. She was always thinking of others and would help whenever she could. I can't believe I will never hear her voice again. You are in my prayers.
