I just learned and am sorry to hear of Janet´s passing. She was not only my cousin but she was also my beloved godmother. I´ll remember her beautiful smile and infectious laugh. Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.

My condolences to the whole family. Aunt Janet was always lots of fun and very kind to me, and I will always remember her as a lively and welcoming aunt. I am sorry I am not able to make the funeral, but she and the extended family will be in my prayers. Wishing you all peace and comfort in this challenging time.

In honor of Aunt Janet, I have made a contribution to the "I Have Wings Breast Cancer Foundation."
