Janet,
You've brought so many smiles when I was depressed.  So many days when I thought I was ready to run screaming from the building you helped me through it.  I appreciated and loved to see your smiles when I told you all about my daughter's birth, and soon my son's arrival.  I really miss you Janet.  I have an empty piece of my world shattered without you.  I believe you're watching everyone, and God needing YOUR help is why you were taken from this earth.  Thank you for every single moment you spent as my friend Janet Mercer.  I pray to one day catch up to you in Heaven watching over God's Children.

Dear Janet,

I was so saddened to learn today of your sudden passing and deeply regret having not reached out sooner to reconnect simply because I was wrapped up in my own challenges and silly insecurities.  Words cannot express what an amazing human being the world has lost with your passing, but I am comforted with the knowledge that the world has been a better place because of you--and, moreover, will continue to be a better place because of you.  Like so many others, I continue to be inspired by the optimism, compassion, and grace you so effortlessly demonstrated in life.  My heart goes out to your family during this difficult time.

Sweet, Sweet Janet,

I have always admired your ability to see the best in every situation, your constant optimism and the way you make all the cares of the world go away while in your presence.  I will miss your bright smile, your chuckle and your sweet voice (although I can still hear it in my head).  You have changed the lives of all who have known you.  I will miss you, Janet.  

Love,
Denise

My dearest Janet,
 I still cannot believe you are no longer with us. I will always cherish you in my heart, always will I cherish the memories we had working in Neuro. You guided me to be better and to be my best in whatever comes my way. My true leader and mentor. 

Rest in peace  Janet
Love Always~Nicole

Janet was such a beautiful person always had a smile on her face when you saw her. I know she will be greatly missed. To the family may God bring you comfort during your time of loss and you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Janet,

I will truly miss you! Thank you so much for giving me an opportunity to join your team at Stanford.  I was beyond blessed and excited to have met you in my life.  You were a such a great mentor, leader and genuine friend to all of us.   You have always shown care, compassion and empathy, in which I admired about you.  You have supported me all the way even when I transitioned for a promotion.  You have believed in me and others around me.  I felt fortunate because of your encouragement and guidance.  When I left to move out of state, I sincerely appreciate every chance I was able to keep in touch with you.  I was always proud of you.  You have made such positive impact to all of us. You have the sweetest smile and warmest hugs.  I am deeply saddened yet I know that God gained a beautiful angel in heaven.  I am praying for you and your family.  Much love. 

Always remember Janet the day she trained me it was very fun being with her.  She was always watching over me and asking how was my husband doing and praying for him.  It hurts so much that we lost her.  As well she was an angel.  She will always be in our heart.  As well I will miss the smile that she always had on her face.  My deepest condolence for the family.  May God be with you.

Dearest Janet,

Although we did not know eachother long, it was always a pleasure seeing you. You always had a smile that brighten up the hallways. My greatest memory was about a year ago when you were carrying a boom box at work with some music going. It was the greatest memory at Stanford and right there and then I thought to myself: how fun, I love her! ❤ You were truly a wonderful leader and will be missed.

Dearest Janet;
You are a light in a world that sometimes seems dark. 
You always led with amazing grace, fairness, kindness and empathy.  Traits that are often rare. 
I hope you know how much I loved you, and how important you were to so many. 
Be with the angels my dear friend, 
Alison and Paul Kerr 

My dearest Janet,
All I have are great memories and you sweet smiles. I still can’t believe you are gone. I love you and miss you so much, my dear Janet. God has you in his arms. You will be missed but not forgotten. May you Rest In Peace. 
Love, Your NiNi

Dearest Janet,
I still remember when I first met you 20 years ago, we were at the new employee orientation at Lucile Packard Auditorium,  right then and there we clicked and became friends forever.
You taught me so much during my 10 years at Neuroscience.  You were my anchor, my savior when I am in trouble.  We call you "mother" because you always have answers to our questions and correct us if we do something wrong (in a nice way).
You are truly an amazing person, inside and out.
Thank you for your words of wisdom. 
Thank you for all the opportunities you have given me.
Thank you to all the good memories.

Love,
Stephanie

Dearest Janet, 
It’s still hard to believe that you are no longer with us.  You were our leader, mentor, friend and our motherly figure. You were always there to listen and provide your constant support.  I will always remember you radiant smile and your positive outlook on life. Heaven as surely gained a beautiful angel.

Janet,

I was so saddened to hear of your sudden passing, but am so grateful that we met.  Your zest for life and family is something for me to carry on.  No matter how busy you were you always made time to ask about my family and always made sure to take care of others.

You will be missed but not forgotten. 



Janet,
I was saddened to hear of your sudden passing.  You were truly a joy to work with.  My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.  RIP.

I will remember our late evening laughs and always treasure your zest for life.  You touched so many.  Thank you for diffusing the difficult situations and adding kindness to the world.  

The morning of the day that I found out my cousin made her transition, my dad fell heavy on my mind. I was actually at the sink brushing my teeth and I felt his presence in my position. I laughed a little to myself and thought "Oh, Daddy..." as I continued to get ready for the day. My dad and Denise's mom are siblings (both already made their transitions),  and the memories that I have of our time as cousins reside much in my youth. I can remember when Denise was a camp counselor and she would let me come along to participate in camp activities which often ended with a group dinner at Spire's restaurant in Long Beach. I remember going to Baskin Robbins with her on many occasions...so much so that the smell and feel of any Baskin Robbins ice cream store made me think of her, even if for just a brief moment. As I've grown older, the distance created in our relationship leaves me with fewer memories of my cousin in my adulthood. Thanks to social media, we were able to establish a newfound presence in each other's lives in the past 6-7 years, but it wasn't the same as being in each other's lives in the physical.  I can contemplate the endless questions that come to one's mind when faced with the death of any kind, but instead of questioning, I've come to a state of listening. Listening to heart and applying the lessons that a life in transition should teach us about life in the present moment.  I know that my mere thoughts about Denise to add to this website is felt and known by her because everything is energy and everything is connected.  Therefore, the words that show up here are not as important as the energy and the feelings created to write them. But, if anyone should happen to read this, I hope that it will prompt you to live a life centered in love above all else.  Denise was connected to each of us for a reason and that reasoning will forever live on. 

Dearest Janet,
I will always remember all the laughs we had at work.  I especially appreciated your kind and gentle way of handling difficult situations.  People really need that kind of leadership.  You are missed by so many. 
Love-Elee and Sakamotos

Janet,

You were always so full of life, kind and thoughtful. You had such a big heart. You were truly one of a kind. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4

Dearest Janet - I've always said, even in your sleep you are ALWAYS smiling and to this day, I still truly believe this.  You are missed!  God Speed.

Dearest Janet,

You will always have a very special place in my heart. You believed in me when I doubted myself and pushed me to be better. I have so much respect for you as a woman and as a human being. Your smile could light up a room and your postive energy was so warm and welcoming. I feel so fortunate to have known you and I will never forget you. You will be missed beyond what words can express. 

Dear Janet,
We are going to miss your warm smile and kindness. You understood technology and people, and you were one of our favorite clients.  We will definitely miss you.  May your soul rest in peace.
