I worked with Janet for many years. First in Charleston, WV and later we transferred to Orlando,FL. She and Howard became our second family and were always there for us. We spent so much time together,lived nearby, went to exercise class, church, Disney,had meals together and just hung out. I recall when I went to work in Florida, I walked into this huge room of about 300 people sitting around the room and a couple of men standing in the middle. I knew absolutely no one. Janet got up from one of those chairs and came over and gave me a hug. She was that kind of person....see a need and stand in the gap. She will be missed by anyone who ever knew her.
