I admired Janet. She took life as it came and didn't waste time feeling sorry for herself. She was candid about her prognosis and made the most of the time she had. She loved her family fiercely and seemed to savor her life. I enjoyed her twinkling eyes and her bravery and candor. She will be missed.

I will always remember Janet’s beautiful smile, sparkling eyes and gentle heart. She will certainly be missed by all who knew and loved her. I am so sorry I was not able to make it to her service and mass this morning but extend my deepest condolences to the family as they mourn the loss of Janet in their lives. Rest in peace dear Janet, and prayers for the family.
