A shock to everyone to lose such a good and valued friend. Words are hard to find to describe how much Janet added to my life and expect everyone who knew her will echo that.

My love and condolences to Rachel and Jonathon and Terrie.
I met Janet in 1976 and have been a part of her family since then; we saw each other through many ups and downs. I was so glad to spend a few days with her last November when I visited Canada. She was one of the bravest women I know and will be forever in my heart.
