My Father Larry Holtz admired her faith in God and had mentioned it to me before. When we first moved to town I always confused your mother and Mrs Braley at church. From the back they looked alot alike, both were pillers of the community, and both have left us to be with thier maker. I hope I will get to be home for her celebration of life this summer.Vallerie Haydennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479792843014892066.post-25003400014955574932011-03-11T15:24:48.838-08:002011-03-11T15:24:48.838-08:00I remember that Mrs. Carpenter always let me hang ...I remember that Mrs. Carpenter always let me hang out at the library when I sold the Grit newspaper. If it was too hot or too cold outside or if I was just bored, I could always come into the library and talk to her. When I read all the books I liked in the library, she would order books from inter-library loan for me. She encouraged me to read, a habit I have kept to this day.John "Rusty" Clinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479792843014892066.post-63951858614798656472011-03-08T08:56:07.558-08:002011-03-08T08:56:07.558-08:00I am so very sorry to learn of Janet's recent ...I am so very sorry to learn of Janet's recent death. She was in my life for many years as a Girl Scout leader, librarian, photographer and mother of one of my oldest friends. Janet exemplified class even when we hiked in the woods as Girl Scouts.<br /><br />I wonder how she had the patience to take all of those class photos without killing the ornery kids who didn't stand still long enough to say "cheese"?<br /><br />She was a role model to many who grew up in Oswego and her smile was contagious. Even though she's gone now, her memory will live on.Penny Johnston Rousseaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479792843014892066.post-82735712006601299642011-03-08T08:45:42.451-08:002011-03-08T08:45:42.451-08:00I had no idea Janet was doing poorly.

I am so sorry that I was not there to tell her how much she meant to me in my life. All through my life she encouraged me and gave me a different view of myself that I often desperately needed. Life just seemed far more fun and less stressful when I was with Aunt Janet.Sara Sunquist Quackenbushnoreply@blogger.com
