Janssens Family: My deepest sympathy during this difficult time. Although Barb and I lost contact over the years, I will never forget the memories of her smiling face and the fun and laughter we shared not only as co-worker’s at RSVP (for several years) but as friends. She will be dearly missed but never forgotten!
