I always thought Janet had such a sweet, accepting nature. Glad that I got to see her at the 2016 reunion. Same wonderful smile.

I am so sorry to read about Janet, and am happy to say that we had a nice visit over a luncheon prior to an evening reunion several years before the Pandemic. She was always very sweet, friendly and kind. we were fortunate to be neighbors at one point in our lives.
