The Savage Family extends our condolences to Janet´s family. I am writing on behalf of my mother, Joyce Savage.
Janet (King) and Joyce Savage (Ceriello) were Concord kids, born the same year, met in school, and became life-long friends. Amongst Joyces pictures were group shots of Janet and other school friends at different times throughout the years. During their trips to Washington DC, Janet, Billy and Jay would visit with Joyce and Bill in Fairfax, Virginia. I remember good conversations over dinners and taking Jay to the neighborhood park. During Jay´s Navel Academy years, Janet would stay with Joyce and Bill and fill us in on Jay´s progressions in life.
I helped Joyce call Janet last Thanksgiving when I was in Houston. The two reminisced for some time and made plans to get together as soon as they could.
Fondly,
Michael Savage, Steve Savage & Kirsten Arendes
