It has been a year now since your passing my love. I'm sad for our loss but know your passing was destined by the Lord to relieve you of any pain and suffering. I'm happy for time we shared life together.

We have entered a new year and we move on without Jan. We thank the Lord for providing a home for our loved one but she will be forever missed. We mourn her death and cherish the time we had together. Jan, I love you and miss you still.

The love of my life; the day to my darkness; the mother of our children and friend to all died a month ago tomorrow. We would have been married 30-years today but she was called home too early by our measure. She was patient and caring. She was a really good cook and I miss her terribly. I must create a new life now but it will be empty without her by my side. Her touch and her laughter are no longer there to enjoy. We enjoyed our trips to Brusters in Florence with the top down and singing (badly) to sounds of the '60s on XM. We enjoyed quiet times in the car and at home too when we didn't need to talk but to just feel the others presence to be complete. She was the outgoing one and I was more quiet. We had faith and a strong connection to the Lord through our church family. I loved her and love her still. She was a good woman and a wonderful wife.

After reading all the entries here, I know that Jan was well respected and loved. I had the pleasure of meeting her when I worked with Ray. She was a beautiful soul who meant so much to so many. My prayers go out to you, Ray, and to the children and grandchildren.And Jan, I hope I have the pleasure of seeing you again on God's Golden Shore.

I got a call today, and had the news given that the world has lost a truly wonderful, awesome, caring and loving person. Jan, you were my moment of sunshine when I thought it was gone. You lifted my spirits when I thought I had none left to lift. You helped me hang on when I didn't think I could anymore. You could make things happen when all I could see was a brick wall. I was looking forward to getting to meet you sometime this year, and now I know I won't meet you here on Earth. I pray I meet you in Heaven some day.

You will be missed forever. May you rest in peace with God. My prayers and sympathy to your family and friends who have lost someone that so clearly cannot ever be replaced.

Mrs. Jan,

Although I only knew you for a short period of time you will never know the impact you made on my life. You helped me get through some of the most frustrating days dealing with my injury. I remember the first day I spoke with you we stayed on the phone for almost an hour talking about fayetteville and our families. I heard of your passing today after wondering why my case manager was changed and why I hadn't heard from you. I am very shocked and saddened by your passing but also happy that you are at peace so today I say THANK YOU Mrs. Jan. Take your well deserved rest!!

Sharing a few of Lisa Firestone's words at Jan's funeral service:When I think of Jan, I think of someone who truly CARED–she cared about people, her family, colleagues, friends, patients and clients. She cared about her profession and believed whole-heartedly in education. She shared with me a deep-seated belief in the resiliency of the human body and mind. She wanted desperately to support our military and the soldiers that give so much for our country.Over the years, Jan has become the true HEART and SOUL of our team–she was a friend, confidante, motivator and sometimes, the Norma Rae of MCA–letting me know exactly what the team needed. Oh YES – Jan was passionate but always professional. We will miss you, my friend, but we will never forget you! It's All Good!

You are gone way too soon and only God knows his plan. I have so much more to learn from you, but have a strong foundation from what you have already provided me.....that even though I will miss you every single day, I will be okay, knowing your guidance is still there. Love you Mom, be at peace!

Her dedication to those she helped, and the many lives she has touched with her words of encouragement, and for her just being the free spritit she was, will always and forever be remembered. My family and I will always be sincerely greatful for Jan. She is one in a million. Our deepest condolences to the family.

Dear Jan,
We met seven years ago when we were working the TSA Contract.
You knew a whole lot more about that subject than I did but you know I could always approach you and you never made me feel incompetent.
I have some very fond memories of our Washington DC MARCH MADNESS trips.
I always felt the love you have for your family, friends, and work. It reminds me a lot of the Christmas movie where Jimmy Stewart never quit knew how many lives he impacted.
Jan, you always brightened my day and you left me feeling better after our many talks.
I know how much you loved life and were a contented soul.
I probably never told you this, but I'm a better person for having known you.
Miss and Love Ya!

My condolences to Jan's family. I knew her through my husband's workman's comp case and she was so cheery and helpful. I am still in shock. She bent over backward for us when it seemed like no one else cared. We have all lost a genuinely caring and compassionate woman who will never be replaced. I do not know the family, but please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Jan was sunshine to all who knew her or heard her voice! I will miss her as a friend and coworker. She was a super advocate for those injured on the job and can never be replaced. Peace and loving memories to her family. I'm sure she has the angels laughing. Ginger Ludwig

I extend heartfelt condolences to Jan's family. From her introduction to me as our Workers' Comp Nurse Manager to our last luncheon encounter prior to my retirement, Jan was always the same..caring thoughtfully for those assigned to her, going the extra mile to provide quality service, and ending each conversation with something memorable and/or humorous. She will not be replaced in my heart.

Jan was our mother's best friend and a mom in reserve for myself and my siblings. She was an amazingly loving, kind, intelligent and joyful person, full of life always! She stood by our side time and time again and helped guide us with some of our most important decisions. What will any of us do without her? She was greatly loved by us and will be truly missed. - Jane, Steven,& Taylour Johnson (Fayetteville), Jennifer Cruickshank (Raleigh, NC)

Jan was a light in the dark for me when times were hard. I loved and respected her dearly. She could make things happen when it felt like it was all falling apart for me. She always did what was best for the injured worker as well as the agency. She was my case nurse and my friend. Well done, Jan, you were a good and faithful servant.

My condolences to the Erne & St.Onge family. I too have only spoken to Jan over the phone and she was definitely one of a kind. May she rest in peace and may her family find the comfort they need during this difficult time.

I never met her face to face. I only knew her voice, over the phone. She was the Nurse Manager. She took time to explain things. Jan made me feel that she really cared. I always told her I wanted to meet her. I am so sad. We lost a wonderful woman. I lost a friend.

A warm, loving, compassionate heart has gone to be with God now, and can rest, assured she will never be forgotten. Jan was all about her family, friends and her patients and will be greatly missed.
