Dan and family
So very sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved wife, Janet. I remember you both fondly as you were patients at our office. May the beautiful memories you have comfort you all during this difficult time. With my deepest sympathy.

Dan, I feel terribly for you, knowing how great your loss must be. The few times you graced our motley lunch crew with Janet's presence, I found her delightfully charming, as surely you knew we all would. To have shared her life for 64 years was no doubt your greatest achievement, Pulitzer notwithstanding. You have long been a journalism heavyweight, but your greatest punching above your weight clearly was winning Janet's love.
Best always, Byron Stout
My Mom (Janet Kostyo Warner) was my very best friend. I told her (almost) everything, even when I knew she probably didn’t want to hear it. I couldn’t help it: she invited that kind of confiding in her. We did so many things together: cooking, baking, shopping, making popcorn balls, hard candies, sharing favorites mystery authors, and sharing common complaints regarding our “men.” We often referred to this as “testosterone poisoning.”
My Mom taught me everything I know except for how to tie my shoes and do neuropsychological testing. My similarly left-handed, eldest cousin taught me how to tie my shoes. My Mom helped my Dad teach me to read:That comes in kinda handy when you are learning to become a pediatric neuropsychologist. (She also gave me my love for the tiniest of human beings; babies.)
I loved her beyond words. While I am so very grateful that she is no longer in pain, I confess that I miss her more already than I can say without tears beginning to flow. Be well, Mom. Know that I think of you always as you were in the many pictures of us that were taken together; both of us smiling, happy and enjoying every second of each other’s company.
Love,
Mindy
Janet (Mom) was a wonderful person, role model, and the best mom anyone could ask for. I miss her terribly and the world is less bright without her here. I love you mom.
