So sorry to learn about Janet's passing. I can still see your mother and Virginia Stenzel working their magic at Wards Drug store. They were quite the pair and provided the kind of customer service we all appreciated. Your mother was a true champion and will be missed.

I used to work with Janet at Good Sams, in therapy. I have good memories of her, such a strong kind person. Always enjoyed her.

I was so sad to learn of your mother's passing. Both she and your dad were always so kind to me, and I so enjoyed working with them when they sold their home. I pray that peace will come quickly to each of you as you pass through this time of sadness.
