God Bless you Janet…………We will miss you……….Enjoy your rewards in Heaven!
I was so sorry to hear of Jan’s passing. I taught with her for many years at Ira Murphy and later at Sahuaro Ranch. She was an extremely wonderful teacher, and I feel honored to have known her. My sincerest condolences to her family.
Gary & Family , Sorry to hear about your sister’s passing. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time. Sincerely Pat Viteritti.
I worked with Janet at the facility for the Phoenix Coyotes and later on when she worked at the Goodyear Ballpark. Janet always had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes. She was a very willing worker and an excellent provider of service to the guests. She was a joy to be with.
My prayers are with you all for losing this dear, and I pray even more that her end of life was not traumatic for her. May she be at peace now, and may you all know what joy she brought to others.
