Janet was a good friend and long-time member of the Connecticut Valley Mycological Society. I spent many forays walking through the woods chatting with her. I will miss her very much.

Janet was a very special person who loved her family and friends. She had a great smile and a lovely laugh. She was a regular attendee at the CT lacemaking group, and she will be sorely missed there, as well as at the other groups she was actively involved in. My sincere condolences to her entire family.
