Doug and all of the close and extended Kelliher family,
I just heard the news and am stunned to think we will never hear Jan's wonderful laugh or feel her great welcoming hug again. She was a teachers' teacher - a priceless, beautiful and loving friend. One of a kind - and unforgetable. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this sad time.

My warm thoughts and prayers go to your family. Jan was a wonderful teacher, who made a lasting impression on me in my childhood that I carry with me today. She was my teacher in the first year that Bicentennial School was open. She taught me to develop confidence, in myself and what I can do. I have never forgotten what a wonderful woman she was, it was a gift to have her as a teacher. I can only hope my children find a teacher who makes a difference to them at some point in their education. You were blessed to have her in your family.

Doug,
So sorry to hear of Janet's passing. I remember fondly the few times we had together in New Hampshire and at an SHS reunion. I remember her as friendly and energetic. I am sure you will miss her greatly, as will everyone who knew her. Our thoughts are with you in this time of sorrow.
Ron and Linda

Doug,
I was so sorry to hear of Janet's passing. She was always so full of life, so positive, so giving and so much fun. She was wonderful to us at St. Joe's. I have very fond memories of Janet. Please remember that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Rosemary Conway

How we will all miss our wonderful golfing friend Jan. In the short time that she was with us she learned all of our names, I was her runner-up in our Flights and in a few days I received a personal card from Jan in the mail. It made my day. I lost my son to Pancreatic Cancer and my heart goes out to all of Jan's loved ones. It's a tough battle. If I'm up to it, I hope to walk the 5K Pancan annual fund raiser in So. Yarmouth in her memory. She surely is in heaven as to me she was an earth angel.
