I am so sorry to hear this and very sorry it took so long for me to learn of her passing. Janette had a great sense of humor and had a terrific singing voice. Very sorry.
I am so sorry for your family and friend's loss. Janette interviewed and hired me in '07. She was an awesome leader and a great mentor. I am blessed to have known her. She is the reason I continue to make strides in special education. May God be with you all during your time of bereavement.
I taught with Janette at Marie Curie Middle School. She was and an amazing and dedicated teacher and moved up to become a school administrator. I have a wonderful memory of sharing a room with Janette when four staff members went to Atlantic City for an education conference. We made sure it was not just all business and had a wonderful time. Always a kind and considerate person and made a difference in so many students lives.
She was one of my best friends in the 60', 70's & 80's. I'll always treasure the many wonderful times we had together & with her family. She was a wonderful, loving person. Love to Joan, Rob & Andy. Good memories.
