My Beautiful Big Sister,
There are no words big enough to hold everything I feel for you. Losing you has left a space in my heart that nothing and no one can ever fill. You weren’t just my sister — you were my guide, my protector, my safe place, and one of the greatest blessings God ever gave me.
You shaped my life in ways I’m still discovering. You loved me with a love that felt steady, warm, and never once wavered. You taught me strength without ever raising your voice, and kindness without ever needing to try. You carried so much on your shoulders and still managed to lift everyone around you. I will always admire the way you lived, the way you fought, and the way you loved.
I miss you in every corner of my days — in quiet moments, in little memories that suddenly appear, in the things I want to tell you but can’t. But even in this pain, I am grateful. Grateful for your life, grateful for the years we shared, and grateful that I got to call you my big sister.
Your love will forever be a part of who I am. I will carry your memory with honor, with tenderness, and with the same strength you showed me. I hope you know how deeply you were loved — not just in your last days, but every day you were here.
Rest now, my sister. You deserve peace. And until we meet again, I will hold you in my heart with every breath I take.
I love you, always and forever. 💛
Nancy & Family,
So sorry for your loss.

In the short time I've known you, you made a big impact on me. We laughed, argued and then you would threaten me" that's why you're not getting Skippy" you never ended our night unless you told me "My favorite Nurse" I will miss our conversations, your love and your friendship. Not to mention my Sugar fix with a mentos gum. You will always be remembered. Love THE Village.
Thank you Janet for the endless sacrifices you made for my sister and nieces. Over and over again never missing a beat. There for countless graduations and recitals, part of our family will be how we always remember you. Never hesitated to give a hand or spend time with them, just a beautiful soul. Glad that God sent an angel like you in our lives. You will be missed.
My heart was shattered when I heard that Janet passed. She was my traveling companion for many years, my hiking buddy from Mt Washington to Mt Resolute in Juneau Alaska and so many places around the world!
She was a great fan of UCONN women’s basketball and we went to countless Final Fours and she would always wander over to the opposing team players or fans and start a conversation , especially if we won! She had a heart of gold and could be very funny when you least expected it! I’m glad we had one last vacation in Ogunquit Maine even if we were in bed by 8 pm! We would relive the day’s adventures and laugh ourselves to sleep! There is a hole in my heart now that you’re gone but I’m stuffing all the good times and memories in there! Until we meet again keep the heavens happy!
