I am saddened to hear of Janet's passing. She was a delight to know - always positive and smiling. Janet indeed was an expert in china patterns, we worked together for many years at Royal China & Porcelain. I will always remember Janet with a smile.

Rest in Eternal Peace, dear cousin Janet. We shared many laughs and a few tears too over the years . I will never forget our love of PathMark tuna salad sandwiches from the vending machine! May you fly with the Angels, Jan and reunite with our loved ones waiting to welcome you home.
Love always,
Annie
