Erin Proulx wrote a sympathy message

“Janet, Amazing woman she taught us so much about love, life, laughter, vacationing, and how to throw the best parties with little details. As her "adoptive daughter" she always made me feel like family. I have a lifetime of memories of her and the whole Lekas clan and I am grateful for them all!! Janet, you fought the greatest fight, and you completed your bucket list, I hope now you can rest in peace and know all the love/lessons you taught will forever be cherished. I love you more than words”
