Dear Jim and Janet´s family,
We were so saddened to hear of Janet´s passing today, and regret we were unable to attend her funeral because of it. Her gifts to the St Louis community are well documented in her obituary and in the previous posts here, but it was her kindness that drew us and so many to her. She leaves we know a huge void in your lives and so many others, but we we feel so fortunate to have have known her and considered ourselves friends.
With our sincerest sympathy and heartfelt condolences,

One sterling woman! Although my memories of Mizzou days are vague, the Nentwig name popped up a lot! Her commitment to Jim, her family, her friends, and her civic involvement was most obvious. There will be a void but her memory will be remembered for years to come.

I am one of Janet´s long time, very fortunate friends. As sorority sisters, we shared so many good times and fun. I did not remain in Missouri after graduation but returned for every reunion possible, looking forward to Janet´s warm welcome and lots of smiles and laughter. She was kind and thoughtful, energetic and creative. She has added much to my life over the past 64 years, and I will miss her very much! Those who knew her are very fortunate.

Dear Jim--and the rest of Janet's beloved family--
My most loving condolences to you. For decades I had the honor and pleasure of Janet's friendship. Her warmth and elegance brightened my life.
Throughout those years Janet's devotion to family and friends was steadfast, as was her active support of the arts and education in Saint Louis. Her colleagues in those efforts will surely miss her involvement. Despite our great sorrow, her presence remains as an inspiration to all--family, friends, colleagues.
