I was so sorry to learn of Janet’s death.  I have worked with her at the Thrift Shop for a number of years.  When I was choir director at Grace church she suggested having her granddaughter, Erika, sing a solo for our summer special music series.  She had a lovely voice and I was so pleased that she sang for us. 
My prayers are with you at this difficult time.
