Jay and family - Janet was my 2nd cousin. We grew up together although she was closer to Barry's age than mine. Janet was a sweet girl and fun to be with. During our early years we were always at one another's homes since her mother's sisters all lived close together. As we grew older, married and had our own families, we mostly kept in touch through notes at Christmas, which kept us close. My prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. Keep Janet in your memories and she will always be with you in your hearts. Carol (Wolfe) Coffey (Herbian's daughter, Estella Wolfe's granddaughter)

Jay and family. Janet was always a lovely girl and woman. We didn't get together often enough, but each time is a memory I will treasure. Love from Josephine (Babe) Contino.
