Dear Aunt Janet. I was not able to attend your funeral because I was on my way to see Josh in Chicago. I heard it was beautiful and fit your personality & charm. I wish I could have been there. I miss you very much. You were so loving and kind and I’ll always remember all you did for me and so many other family members & friends. When I go to Mass, I usually dress nicely and say like you always said, “I’m going to see my best friend.” Of course that was Jesus. May you now rest in peace with your best Friend.
All my love. Michelle❤

I am so sad to just be hearing of Janet's passing. She was by far one of my favorite clients. Her wit and kindness filled the air. I am going to miss her so much. My condolences to you all.

Dear Aunt Janet,
You will be missed so much by Josh and me. He remembers all those pennies you gave him to wrap and keep so he could buy a game system! I will remember your loving kindness and all you did untiringly for so many. You gave me a wedding reception, baby shower at your home, a party for Josh's first birthday 27 years ago and many more memories throughout the years. Most of all we will remember your love and caring. May you Rest in Peace, Aunt Janet, with all your loved ones. Please tell Renee how much we love and miss her here with us, too. Love,

I never met a more beautiful and lively woman as Auntie Janet. She always dressed to the nines and looked beautiful every time I saw her. I will miss you very much and now you can join all the other family members in God's resting place.

2 little girls met at the age of 3
and immediately connected, just you and me.
We played together day after day
and wouldn't have had it any other way.
Our amazing friendship for 81 years has been a blessing to me and one I will always treasure. I love you my "Dear Forever Friend" and will miss you.
