	To: The Family of Janet Lam     I was sorry to learn of the death of Janet. I had the opportunity to get to know her when she worked at JMU. She was a wonderful person and she made an important difference with her work at JMU. She was a great help to me. I certainly missed her when she left JMU. I know you will all miss her. We were all blessed to have known her.     Best wishes,   Challace McMillin
