Janet was such a brave, strong, wise, and supportive presence in the lives of those who knew her. Anita and I spent numerous evenings with her, both at her place and ours; each of which was a joy, filled with animated discussion, declarations of firmly held views, numerous anecdotes, wisecracks and much, much laughter. Sometimes we argued heatedly, but always with warmth and mutual respect. She left a mark in our lives, was loved deeply by us and will be sorely missed.
