I am so sad to hear of Janet’s passing. She was a tie to my Mom as she called me every year and we would re-visit memories and she would check in with me on all my siblings and cousins- wanting news and updates on Drope’s, Spooners and Martins- as well as my own kids and husband. Her friendship with our mom, Pat Drope, was a special one. They played tennis almost every day for years, both so athletic, both loved to play. Janet was a fierce competitor with an even more fierce sense of humour. Her wisdom and loyalty were next to none. She was a wonderful friend to our Mom and I know how much their friendship meant to her as well. She shared with me recipes over the phone- oh my gosh Janet was the best chef, I could never replicate her beef dish- “Janey- you just let it marinate in Italian dressing”- ha! Never tasted like Janet’s! . As I’ve gotten older I really had a chance to appreciate her kindness and sharp wit, as well as her sentimental nature . I will miss hearing her voice and sharing memories and laughs. Much love to her kids and grandkids . She was so proud of all of you.
