Condolences to Janet´s Family. Janet graduated with me in 1975. I contact Janet in 2014 so, she could come to the All Class Reunion. Janet did attended the reunion in August with many of her friends and classmates. I was glad she came and shared a great day with so many friends that walked the Halls of ECHS. RIP Janet.
