Jan Ostrom

Oh my gosh, a year has passed. Anniversaries are so hard. Love to you, Alex, and family.

I only recently learned of Jan's passing and am so saddened by the news. The world shines less brightly without her presence. I will always think of her smile, her laughter, and her hugs...she made everyone feel as if they were the most important person in the world.

Sorry Alex... I have very fond memories of discussions we had at Public Health... Hugs

Alex, I was very sorry to read about Jan's passing. My best to you and your family. From the obit, it is clear that Jan lived an extraordinary life, one most anyone would envy.

Alex was so saddened to read of Jan´s passing. I so enjoyed working with her and attending her movie classes. Please accept my sincere sorrow at her passing. Jan j

Such a beautiful tribute to Jan. I was able to get to know Jan through Alex and always looked forward to spending time with her. A great intellect matched with a great heart and infectious sense of humor. What was not to admire and love about this great woman! My condolences to all of her dear family and friends.

Oh dear Alex and family, Jan was such a bright star in any arena. A joy to work with, clear hearted and loyal. I remember at CR she was single handedly raising funds for the women´s sports teams. Part of her pledge to donors was that she would show her gratitude by sending donors a thank you note for the rest of her life. Although the promise was somewhat tongue in cheek, I got an annual thank you note from Jan for several years. They broke the mold after her, for sure. Sending love to...

I had the pleasure and honor of calling Jan my friend for 30 years. She was incredibly kind, witty and funny, and so bright. Talking with Jan was always a delight. My life is forever enriched for having known Jan and the world is a better place for having had her in it. Much love to Alex and the rest of the family.

I had the pleasure of working with Jan at College of the Redwoods. Jan always quick with a smile, concern for others and a great story. I´m sorry for your loss.
