I never knew Janet, but I was friends with Matt in the Marine Corps and in college. Knowing the caliber of son that she raised, her departure is a big loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family, but please take comfort in the fact that her impact on the world will be felt for generations to come.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of someone so sweet. I worked with Janet at DMPS for years until her retirement. She was never at a loss for words and livened up our work may times.
My thoughts are with those who share such a great loss.
