Janet was a good friend of my wife Janet Hull from Albany, NY days, starting in 1965. More recently "Beech", Jerry, Janet and I enjoyed multiple times of lunch and talking on the Santa Monica Pier. Condolences and wishes for Jerry and her family.-Rick Tenser

Charlie, Mark and Martha. I am saddened to hear of Janet. It seems that I spent more time at your house than at mine growing up. We still have our childhood memories of skating in your side yard and "borrowing" bikes because they peddled easier. I received the morning paper route from David; and Charlie, you helped me to collect for the papers. I have those memories along with Janet walking up to me at the class reunion 10 years ago with her smile. We all face our next adventure sooner than we want but it will be our fate. I thank all of the Beechers for our childhood memories. [email protected] AKA Clyde

We grew up together and lived across from each other on Elm Street. The Beechers and Solenski children were together more than they were apart.

Jerry, Meghan and Jessica, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember ,Her coming home to visit Alice Geithner and I taking her and Jerry to Saratoga Springs for lunch. Also when my Daughter lived at Pendleton, we met a couple of times. Once we met at a restaurant down on Oceanside beach for lunch . After she continued to go to Jessica s in San Diego. Another time we met in Los Angeles. We had fun . I am so sorry . She was a beautiful person. She will be missed .

I am so sad to hear of Janet´s passing. We were friends since high school and had many fun times together. It was always fun to go to their house and enjoy times with all the family.
