An amazing thing happened when I was ask by a church friend, Jim Santicrose, if I would like to take care of his friends mom, who turned out to be the wife of my former high school science teacher, Mr. Thomas, who was the best teacher I’ve ever had. He had passed away. Janet became my special friend . We did a lot of fun things together and went to watch Rich Wilson sing and we danced . She was so good at it. I missed her so much when she moved to Dallas. But thanks to her daughter I got to spend a weekend with her. I have kept in touch with her and her family. I love all of them. I will miss her and our talks. I love you Janet and I’m so happy that Jesus welcomed you home and your with you husband forever now. Bet the two of you are dancing all over heaven! My deepest Sympathy, friendship and love to Janet’s family🙏 Beverly
Our hearts and prayers are with you.
I loved Janet. She was my only sibling, my older sister. I will miss her. We know that she is resting in peace.
We send our condolences and love to her children and their families. May God grant you peace.
Much love from Uncle Russ and Jackie.
Rick, Brad and Connie = I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your mom and my Aunt Janet. Many great memories growing up together. I know there are many heavy hearts right now but your GREAT memories will prevail! I love you all. My sympathy and Prayers to each of you !! Cousin Russ – God bless
Rick, Brad, & Connie,- Diane, Eileen & Rob – you all know how much she was loved, is still loved and holds a very special place in many, many hearts. Thank you for sharing her with us – I have some wonderful & special memories of how she showed such love for Uncle Richard and our mom, especially in the later years. In my mind’s eye, I see her clearly at our kitchen table sharing stories and laughing – what a beautiful laugh. As far as I was concerned, she was our family’s special ‘Mary Tyler Moore’, (I simply thought she was the classiest!) exhibiting her grace, humor and love – and I see that same love in the way all of you cared for her. We send our heartfelt sympathy and love, Judy
