My condolences to Janet's family. I have many fond memories of Janet when we were at EHS and then when I got to know her again many years later. She was an admirable person whom I feel very fortunate to have known.

A very kind and gentle person. To say, remember EHS, sums it all up. Lost contact over the years as we both left the area. My sympathy to the family for their loss.

I have such fond memories from when she was my boss at Aileen. She was kind and fun. Will never forget the day I "dabbed" on two different perfumes before coming to work or the day I took my wig off. She had the perfect demeanor to manage people. She came into my shop recently and we had a lovely visit. I'm grateful for that. A beautiful woman, inside and out.
