To all Janet's Siblings,
I know my mother, Ann (Krapf)Eitrem treasured your mother's friendship so. She has been very saddened to hear of her passing and wishes she had more contact with her children so that she could have found out the times and dates for services as she would have flown out to Rhode Island to pay her last respects to her special friend.
The last time my mom and I travelled to Providence for my Grandmother Krapf's services we spent sometime with Janet. I remember it well because we went shopping and I was nominated to drive to the strip mall. Your mom was adament about wanting to purchase something for me and she did and I will treasure it moreso. She was such a pleasant and bubbly lady and I will miss her.

Janet,
Thank you so much for all the crazzzzy rides, all the dreat candy and snacks you would bring to our porch parties. I remember the night that you, adele and I, went on a pajama party christmas ride making fun of peoples christmas lights. That night will be remembered for ever. When we have our fall barn fires we will think of you when the fire department comes. I know how much you loved all the firemen that to the house. : ) we had some much fun under that chandelier laughing eating and drinking wine and telling stories. Harry and Ernie will never forget all the Iced coffee's and Donunts that we shared together. Love always your valley st. Porch Gang.
