Janet,
There are absolutely no words to describe my hurt that continues to haunt my heart and soul. After moving to Newington , I found most of the kids very standoffish because I was from the City. You were hands down the sweetest most affectionate girl I ever knew!!
Off and on, we dated and became even closer through the years. You NEVER judged or insulted me about my past (living in the city) If there is a god in heaven, you are now standing at a Zeppelin Skynyrd , OR Van Halen show! I´ll be with you soon and hopefully we can visit my old city block as one!!

Thinking of Janet and Janets family on the 5 year Anniversary of her passing.
This morning I was reminded when I received an email from legacy.com
I opened the email and see Janets picture. Such a beautiful loving, caring, bubbly, happy person. She always brought a smile to my face.
That beautiful picture is exactly the way I remember her.
My memories of Janet I will always treasure.
Keeping her, her family and friends in my thoughts and prayers on this 5th anniversary of her passing away.

To my friend Janet, and her family and friends. It is with my deepest sympathy and sincerity that I take this moment to express my sadness and sorrow on your passing. It grieves me so that I wasn't able to attend the services and express my feelings of remorse on losing a valued friend. We don't say goodbye, only rest in peace until we meet again someday. My sincerest sympathy and condolences to the Rippel and Christiana familys.

I remember when Roland and I bought are first two family house on Main sr and we were standing in our back yard when we heard a familiar voice from the yard diangle across and it was Janet. How cool was that? Buy a house and surprised your neighbor is a close good friend of Roland's. Awesome memories after that. We went to concerts, guys went to football games. So much to reflect and my condolences to Janet's family

It is with great sadness that that I feel I had to write this note to Janet's family. The last time I saw her was at our reunion and we were both on the dance floor as she came over, gave me a big hug and told me how she was a nurse and so proud of being one. That smile and energy she had will always be a part of my memory of her. My condolences go out to all of her family and friends. May her memories of her, keep a warm spot in your heart and a smile on your face.

I was so saddened to hear of Janet's passing. I'll always remember her beautiful smile, which I first got to see in middle school. But, that smile didn't compare with the one I saw a few months ago as she spoke of her son, Jeremy. My thoughts and prayers are with the Rippel and Christiana Family.
