My deepest sympathy To all of Janets family. I new Janet just a short timed through the Westchester Chamber of Commerce and was Blessed to have had the pleasure of knowing her. She became a client of mine and it was always a pleasure to see and talk with her. I loved going to her breakfasts she would put on for the Midwest Soaring for the Chamber. The last time I saw her she said she was taking her family to Disney. I hope she got to do that. Joseph, my prayers are with you. I will often think about Janet because that was the kind of person she was. Unforgetable.
