I'm saddened to hear of Janet's passing. We grew up together in St. Michael congregation, Perry Hall...I have 3 brothers, she had 2. Ken was my age, Janet was the age of my brother Doug.....so we connected in many church activities as youth. We reconnected briefly when she married Neal and visited Good Shepherd. Always kind, caring, Janet wore a pretty smile despite her illness. God bless you all as you grieve.

The one who watched my children grow up, shared in every aspect of my life, cried with me and laughed with me...the one who knew my “best” and my “worst” and loved me unconditionally...my Janet. Rest In Peace in the arms of our Savior and know I’ll see you again. You will be forever loved and deeply missed. Love you my sweet friend. Pam
