My sincere condolences to Janet’s family and friends. Janet taught me in grade 3 at Holy Cross school in 1961. She has always remained in my memory as a very good teacher and obviously made quite an impression on me as a young child. I had met Janet many times in later years and she always amazed me with her recollection of all the children she taught .
I am so very sorry to hear of her passing.

Dear Jim, James and John,
Although Janet fought a long, valiant battle with her relentless illness, it was still a shock to read her obituary. Cathy and I want to pass along our profound condolences to you all. I knew Janet as a teacher and was always impressed with her dedication and passion for the profession. She was the consummate professional. Her soft-spoken, gentle personality made her enjoyable to be around and, therefore, will be dearly missed by those who knew her. Take comfort in each other's company as you struggle to move on and find solace in the fact that you have each other to find the strength to move forward.
