Janet--
I first met you when you became my 12th grade French teacher at York Suburban High School. I found the French useful when I served in Vietnam, a former French colony.
You became my Aunt Janet when you married Uncle Charles.
You were always a steady and supportive partner to my Uncle.
Thank you for the support you gave me.

I am sorry to hear about the passing of your loved one, Janet Booz. I had Janet for English, one year of French, and for the Blazer, our school newspaper. She was a wonderful woman and a very intelligent and caring teacher.
I also worked for 2 summers with her brother, Curvin Senft.
I feel honored to have had a good relationship with Janet and I considered her a friend.
Our prayers and thoughts are with your family.
