Janet and I were each other's side kick for years. We had so many fun adventures together. So loving, so giving and so selfless. My entire family appreciated so much when she offered to drive my mom to a few therapy sessions. Janet was like my mom's 4th daughter. Life will be very different without her presence. But we go on minute-by-minute holding treasured memories close to our hearts. Love you Janet, I will miss you so very much, until we meet again my friend.

I would like to thank her sisters Mary, Patty, Joanie along with her neighbor and niece Crissy for being so supportive and for including me in Janet's life celebrations. For that, you all hold a special place in my heart.

Deepest sympathy to the family and friends. Janet was good person someone you could count on. She was one of the funniest people I knew. We will miss her.
