I remember talking to Janet about everything and anything and the same for her to me. Then we would get busy and not be able to chat. It wouldn’t matter because it felt like no time would pass. I would tell people about my awesome friend Janet and how proud I was about her being elected Alderman! I feel such a void and I know so many others do as well.
Please accept our condolences, prayers and healing energies.
You all will always be in our hearts!
Janet, I know you must be putting your special touch on where you are.
Brightest Blessings
