Elsie Stoddard
Dear Bill and Family,
I was saddened to read of Janet’s passing this morning and so hasten to express my deepest sympathy to you and your dear family. Although I haven’t seen Janet since her mother was in Melville Hts., Janet has often been in my thoughts, especially when I remember the happy shared experiences growing up on Poplar Street. Janet was a wonderful “big sister” to me and spiritual heart of the old Poplar St. Gang. As the oldest child in our small community, she planned and directed all of our rainy day concerts. The Stoddards, Carters, Doreys, and Parkhills will never forget your Janet, our very good friend.
Peace and prayers,
Elsie Stoddard
Tony & Jane Chick

Shirley & Mike Power
Karen, Lisa, and family. Our sincere condolences on the loss of your Mom. Our thoughts are with all of you. Rest in Peace Mrs. Murphy.

I was privileged to meet Janet when I returned to Liverpool over six years ago, during our forays to the Woodpile each morning. A
wonderful, gentle person who always took time to acknowledge me no matter where we met. Recently we met at the grocery store and she continued to be her pleasant and cheerful self even though she was ill.
She will long be remembered, and kept in our prayers along with you Bill and all family members.
