TO MY DEAREST SWEETEST FRIEND JANET CITRO, MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN HIS LOVING CARE, TODAY TOMORROW AND ALWAYS. YOU WILL BE SADLY MISSED AS YOU WERE SUCH A KIND SWEET LOVING FRIEND. I WILL MISS YOU DEARLY AND LOVE U MOREEEEE. LOVE YOUR FRIEND JOY
I write this with great sadness over the loss of one of the kindest and most beautiful souls who has ever graced our Earth, Janet Citro. She fought a brave and strong battle with kidney disease and cancer for years, taking each day in stride with hardly a complaint. She was like that, often hiding her own discomfort from others.
A long time ago, I once called her "Mrs. Citro" as she was the mother of my dearest friend, Anita, and the mother of Anita's siblings, Michael, Louie, and Tommy, and devoted wife to "Mr. Citro" her loving husband. So fondly I remember her magnetic smile, the welcoming gaze of her amazing, beautiful, big, brown, eyes as I would come to the door of 839 Glenview on countless occasions as a schoolgirl, a teenager, and as a young adult. There were always open arms and a warm greeting from Janet, and she had a smile for everyone. She was so gracious ... always ... and always offered whatever she had on hand. She was so easy to talk with as well ... and I often looked forward to those lovely conversations around the kitchen table on Glenview or those especially wonderful occasions in later years when I would see her in Voorhees, NJ at Anita and John's home. She loved it there. Even when I called on the telephone for Anita and she would answer, her voice was always so pleasant and welcoming, and she always offered words of kindness. She was so gentle and loving. She took an interest in the lives of others and was incredibly full of warmth and compassion. She was funny too, and she made me laugh and she herself had wonderfully contagious and robust laughter.
It was so easy to love her, as she made everyone feel like they were the most important person in the world at the moment. She was so elegant ... in all ways. She was amazingly creative too, and so very clever with interior decor and to make things look beautiful and to make a house a home. This beautiful woman, inside and out, was also a wonderful friend to all who knew her. For me, I considered her as my "second" mom. She often offered valuable and truthful advice, and I always admired how she never judged or forced her opinions on anyone. She was loving, and real ... so authentic! She was a wonderful mother to her four children and it was so easy to understand how deeply she loved them and her entire family. Now, her beautiful spirit will live on through them. I know she wanted to stay for them with all of her heart, but God called her, and it was time for her to make her jorney to join her family in Heaven.
I know in my heart that Janet is resting in peace, as her spirit remains with us through the beautiful memories of her that she created. When we love people it’s so very comforting to know that they will always be with us in our hearts.
Goodbye, Janet, with all of my love. I will see you again!

I would like to offer my condolences to the entire Citro Family, and also thank them for giving me the opportunity to care for their beloved Janet. Although our time together was short, we created a bond during this difficult time. Janet truly possessed classic beauty and grace, and I know is already missed tremendously. I wish you all peace and comfort. 🙏🏻
