Lisa and Jenny, your mom moved through life with humor and kindness. I know the Durand Street gang appreciated that!
Much love to your family.

Very saddened to her of Aunt Nancy's passing. I remember her working as a Nurse when I was a child. Only as a grew did I come to understand the true unselfish dedication it takes to care for others. She was a very kind and giving person. The last time I saw her she made sure to encourage me with my own challenges, never mentioning her own. Truly a loving soul, she will be missed.

I have great memories of Janet during our high school years. I was the one who encouraged her to attend the Washington Hospital Center . She was a great person and will be missed.

God bless this family. Janet was always in a good mood. Her smile will be missed.

Ken and I have wonderful memories of Aunt Janet. She taught Ken how to make chicken and dumplings when she visited with Mom in Texas and loved to sit in the sunroom at the river. As I have said in the past, I became a nurse in part because of her. I was in awe as a second grader going to Washington DC to visit her--i didn't know girls went away to school and had careers. She was quick to laugh and always loving. My mom loved her and will miss her dearly.  Lee

Dear Family, 
I worked with your Mom for the Flint Board of Education. When our daughter needed surgery for a serious back injury, your Mom offered her resources and contacts to get the best orthopedic surgeon for us. We were so grateful for her kindness. Thoughts and prayers to all of you, Pat and Dave Huellmantel Holly, MI.

I have wonderful memories of Janet in Nursing School, Washington Hospital Center School of Nursing in  Washington, DC.  She always had a big smile on her face and was a wonderful, giving person.  Eternal rest grant unto her Oh Lord,and may she rest in peace.  Amen
