Janet was one of my favorite people at Alyeska. She always had a smile on her face as she greeted you, and had such positive energy. She will be sorely missed not only from the work aspect (because she worked hard and was good at her job) but also from the personal aspect because she was so well loved and respected by her coworkers. RIP Janet, you were an amazing person! Shelly Martin

I agree with everything Shelly says about Janet. She always had a smile on her face and was willing to help whenever she could, with whatever you needed. One of her favorite volunteer events was serving Thanksgiving lunch to all of the children and faculty at Russian Jack Elementary School. She was always one of the first to sign up when the volunteer call went out for this event. I remember how much joy she had in learning that she was going to be a grandmother and couldn't wait until her granddaughter was born. Janet was a great friend and I will miss her.

On June 12th, I lost a very special person. Janet Guerra was one of the most positve and happy go lucky people I had the pleasure of meeting. When I was tasked with building an accounts payable team for APSC, I started with Janet Guerra. Janet had a desire to be the best of the best. Janet always gave me and APSC all she had. She was one of the hardest working people I have ever known. Janet took pride in not only doing her job, but doing it professionally. When she told me about her health situation it was hard to take. Needless to say, when I received the text about her passing, it was harder to accept. I will miss my very special friend. RIP Janet Guerra, God has another "Angel"! LOL my dear! Arthur T Sample III
