Our condolences to Janet's family. Janet was a good friend of my sister Dee Kankowske and was a great help in my sister’s passing a year ago. 

We will always remember Janet as a spunky, joyful and helpful person.  We will miss her.

We are so sorry for your loss.   Pat & I became acquainted with Janet through our family friend Dee Kankowske, who was a close friend of Janet for many years. We called her "Saint Janet" because she was a truly special person who showed her Christian beliefs of love-in-action by supporting her friends and helping so many other people she came in touch with.

Janet was a remarkable lady, and her memory will forever be cherished by all those who know her.  May God's love provide your family with strength, comfort, and healing. Please accept our heartfelt condolences at her passing and may Janet RIP.

When we went to see ELO for their first concert at the Uptown Theater.
Or when we would tell Polish jokes and she would laugh more than any of us.
Also when we took swimming lessons together. Janet was so afraid to get her face wet, but we laughed so much together about it.
I don’t think I can remember a time I didn’t have fun with her ! ❤️
In response to "What was the most fun you ever had with Janet?"
