One of my fondest memories was going over to visit both Janet and Ruth one afternoon.  We were going out to lunch and I put the top down on my convertible temporarily so it would be easier for Ruth to get in the car.  Janet said "Oh, let me get my scarf" and we left with the top down, much to her enjoyment.   She lived her life to the fullest and taught me many things along the way.  She had the nicest laugh and gave me great advice on so many things including men.  I am forever thankful to her gently pushing me into a decision that led me to meeting my eventual husband.  She could play a mean game of Scrabble or Skip-Bo in the old days.  Towards the end of her life she was still up to new things like trying Rocky Mountain Oysters, which was a hoot.  The look on her face was priceless!  She loved visits with my dogs, especially the one that only has one eye.  She was still swimming daily at 105 which was a beautiful thing to see.  She was one of a kind and will be missed greatly.

Among the numerous subjects of which Janet was curious, one was astronomy. She told me she once owned a small telescope and saw the moons of Jupiter and rings of Saturn. Furthermore,She even took a college level astronomy course and 20+ years later enjoyed the 1950's movie, 'Destination Moon.'  And while Janet was dubious of an afterlife, a benovelent Creator will no doubt discount her skepticism and surely recognize her 'goodness factor'...rewarding her anyway. I'm guessing her views of Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons are NOW absolutely magnificent.
