We were so sorry to hear about Jan's passing. I met Jan at Twain years ago when we both worked with the children. She was such a warm and caring person. God Bless her,

Jan touched the lives of hundreds of children at Mark Twaim School throughout the many years she shared her talents and wisdom as an academic learning aid and lunch mom.
She was also a good friend to all of the staff. She had a genuine heart and a big smile and loved what she did.
She was so proud of her two sons and her grandchildren.
May memories of her live on in your hearts.
My deepest sympathy to your family and friends.

Joann has been like a member of my family for as long as I can remember. She has shared her love and inspired me for many a difficult time. I know she will remain a smile in my heart and angel to rely on.

Our deepest condolences to the family. We knew Joann and Larry through the Szymanski family. Shared many good times with them both. We were privileged to have known them. We will miss not seeing her around the table at the many gatherings held at Julie and Lou's. God Bless you all.

I have been blessed to have Aunt JoAnn in my life. She has been just as caring, attentive and wonderful to my children as she was to me. We will feel her loss deeply. She is missed and loved.

Joann was a wonderful friend and inspiration to all of us. While she will be dearly missed, it's comforting to know her suffering is over and that she is reunited with Larry. My condolences to her dear family.

Larry and Joann were always and will still be my best Uncle and Aunt. They always took the time for everybody. I know Barb took a very good liking to both of them. We will miss them.

It is so fitting that Jan's longtime association with Mark Twain School both as a parent and dedicated worker is mentioned in her obituary. She was dearly loved by the students and staff and has left a lasting impression on all. May her legacy live on.

Neighbors for 45 years and over the last few years we became good friends and spent a lot of time together, I already miss her and I know that over time the loss will be even more prevalent. We talked often ,laughed a lot and even cried sometime and through it all we became closer and our friendship grew. I admired the way Jan always saw the silver lining and even when her pain became stronger and lasted longer she still managed to push on. She was a real inspiration and I will always look back on the time we spent together and the laughs and tears we shared. You are and will continue to be missed. May you rest gently now in the arms of Our Lord and be free from your pain. Your friend, Sandy Sebastian
