My condolences to all the members of Janice's family. She was both my and my sister's teacher for science research at Brooklyn Tech, so I knew her before she was my teacher. She instilled a love for research at a really young age and was one of the first teachers I really connected with. She's probably the primary reason I'm working on my Master's in Education and currently working as a teacher!  Janice was an incredible role model for me to have growing up.

Janice was a very dear friend. My heart is heavy. Tears keep on swelling up in my eyes and go down my cheeks. Then I remember how positive we were with each other. She was a strong caring person. Witty. I loved her smile. She touched so many people lives with her kindness, wisdom and support.
I miss you my dear friend.
Talk to you through the sky and the stars. Sending love to you sweet angel. 

RIP. Janice was a colleague and a friend. I’ll miss her smile, her encouragement and her kindness to all. We worked together at Brooklyn Tech and developed a close friendship over the years. Miss you, Gary

I will never forget the kindness, unwavering support and mentorship that she showed my daughter at Brooklyn Tech. I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss and send my sincere condolences to all of her family and  friends. 

I am so devastated to hear this. No words can describe the positive impact Ms Baranowski has had on my life. She was a pillar of wisdom, strength, kindness, support, & wit. My heart is heavy. She will be missed beyond words. She has been an angel on earth for me and now is an angel in heaven. Rest in Peace & May your memory be eternal. 🙏🏼❤️

Janice was a colleague of mine from a different department and was very friendly.  Every year when my daughter was in elementary school and selling fund raising stuff Janice would always buy something to support her. She will be missed.

I feel as if I only just shared with her the news of my accomplishments at a recent conference. Even now, more than a decade later, much of that credit goes to her and the skills gained in her scientific research class. Her Facebook posts always filled my timeline with positivity (and pictures of the cute animals from the organizations she supported). My condolences to her friends and family, she is most sincerely missed.

Janice was a force of truth and nature who cared so much about the youth, fought for and with them (!) to help them be their best.  One of the greatest honors in my thirty years was working with her in the Gateway Science Program which, back then, had a social mission that Janice was very much aligned with. 
She was an inspiration to me as a colleague, to other adults, and certainly to her students.
Loving thoughts and a virtual embrace to the loving family and caring friends that mourn her, and hopefully will remember the good times more as the months and years pass.
Janice is sorely missed.

May God watch over her and her family.  To paraphrase scripture:  She has won the race she has fought a good fight.  May God embrace her in his living arms. May she rest in peace Amen.
