Dear Joey, Brenda, Amaliya, James, Ben,

It was with a very heavy heart and deep sadness
that I read Brenda's e-mail telling me of Janet's passing.
She was my beloved 7th & 8th Grade Science Teacher
at St. Mary's, one of the best teachers of my life. When
her wonderful son Jimmy married Brenda, Janet became
part of our family, and Jimmy became my devoted
brother in law and friend. Janet was so kind to me, and
every Christmas she sent me a beautiful card and note saying
when she sang or heard 'Silent Night', my mother Lorraine's
favorite Christmas Carol, she would think of her.
When we leave this earth, the love that we've given
and received remains behind to light the lives of those
we touched. Janet's unconditional love and her beautiful
light lit the paths of so many during her long life.
Her love will live on in the hearts of all of us who
were blessed to know and love this beautiful soul.
She is in Heaven now with Jimmy and Bet and Doris
and Thomas and Walter, and with all of her loved ones
who made their journey before her.
They were waiting with their loving arms extended
to embrace her, and to welcome her home.
My love and my prayers are with you, and with dear Janet
at this very sad time.
Forever, Jeff

I first met Janet as a volunteer at the Merrimack County Nursing Home. She and I did the music program for the monthly Mass. I really enjoyed her straightforward manner , sense of humor and religious devotion. She will be greatly missed! Johannah Brown
