Dear George, GW, and Aleta: I was one of those many fortunate people who's life was touched by Janet Aliya's kindness. When I first started taking dance lessons I told her that I was feeling uncomfortable coming to the dance classes because I was a real beginner and I did not feel good dancing in front of other people, and without hesitation she immediately offered to come earlier to the class to teach me the basic steps. She called the group "beautiful dancers" but it was her inner beauty that made us feel so good and relaxed during her free dance lesson. She was always smiling and encouraging us. Your loving Janet-Aliya will be long remembered by many. Her beutiful smile, her graceful movements, and her thoughfulness will live for ever in our hearts. Your faith and courage, and her eternal love will bring you peace even in the midst of this great sorrow. With all my sympathy, Myriam S. Dilawari (NIST).

All your friends and professional colleagues from ASTM C28 extend their sincere condolences and deep sorrow on Janet's sudden and tragic passing. Many of us knew her and remember her with great fondness for her kind and generous nature and with professional respect for her scientific achievements. Our prayers are with you and your family in this time of sorrow and loss.
