I grew up with Janet and the rest of the Cutlers as we attended Goldmine school together and our farms were down the road from each other. Our childhood farms are now both in the Govern Dodge State Park. I moved to Austin Texas in 1976 and treasure our childhood days.
I am sorry for the loss of Janet.
