Janet was one of the first to WELCOME our Bogdon family to Fairport, and the Rochester area, when we moved from Detroit. She was a wonderful and helpful next-door neighbor on Duncott Road from 1969 until we moved, at the time of the Great Rochester Ice Storm, in 1991. We Bogdons and the Geraces became quite close as families, sharing similar episodes of child rearing, garden tending, and the exchange of home grown foods and the lovely results of cooking them. We shared the time of raccoons birthing in their chimney, swapped stories of car woes, and enjoyed countless yard conversations. Janet and Marianne, in the interest of avoiding the cold weather, tried to talk Bob and Bernie into digging a tunnel between our homes so they could visit more closely. When we added Nanci to our roster, Janet was very supportive with tasks involving a new born. Throughout elementary and high school, our girls Carrie, Beth, and Nanci had great friendships with the Gerace boys James and Tom. Janet was a caring and loyal next-door neighbor and a true friend. We will treasure our memories of her always.
Miss your person Janet, but will enjoy your Spirit. Marianne & Bernie Bogdon
