I am so very sorry to hear of Janet's passing. I knew Jan in our late teens, and will always remember her love of dancing. I will carry with me the kindness, warmth & affection she bestowed upon me. God Bless you Frances, and all the family. - Posted by: Jeff Card (Friend) on: Oct 07, 2021

Janet was my youngest sister. We have been estranged, my fault not hers. I have so many memories of us at my grandparents farm, pillow fights, and she was beautiful inside and out.and I deeply regret not keeping in touch with my Dad, Peter and Janet. I hope she is at peace. She was so clever, so funny. Mom Frances if you see this know that I am sorry for my distance. I love you, I loved Daddy and Janet. I am hoping to be brave enough to contact you. No mother should ever lose a child. RIP Janet. - Posted by: Christine Skrepetz Cabal (Sister) on: May 22, 2021

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Janet. We were in elementary together at St. Alphonsus. We were locker partners in Munroe Jh and we always passed a "hi" or shared a laugh in the hallways of Miles Mac. She was such a kind and quiet spirit. She had such a great smile and awesome sense of humor. As life took us in separate paths I often thought of her. So sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy to you all. - Posted by: Michelle (School friend) on: Dec 04, 2020

Jan was my work colleague and a friend in and outside of work. I admired her fun personality, work ethic, and beautiful style in her home and garden. Her lovely smile, kindness and humor will not be forgotten. My sincere condolences to Russ and Jan's family. RIP, dear Jan. - Posted by: Adele Stiles (friend) on: Nov 30, 2020
