Joel Cornes and I really enjoyed seeing you We came to your beautiful house on our travels from the East coast. And you were very kind to let us crash out overnight. Thank-you Janet. I think of you often. Love you Love! Love, Michael Scott Milburn (Stephen's son).

Jan was a generous and loving person. She not only shared her amazing home with her human friends, but also with her four footed friends who were greatly loved. I shall miss her.

Dearest Jan.
Our world has lost a magnificent spirit with your passing.
You were the epitome of generosity, compassion and bountiful energy.
Your cheerful presence raised the tone of every dialogue and event.
Truly you had no equal.
I miss you and cherish your memory.
Wishing your spirit blessings on the winds of time,

My thoughts are with the Potter family in the loss of such a beautiful person: Jan. Jan had a generous spirit and love of children, very obvious when she showed slide presentations many times in my fourth grade classroom. She was loved by the students and will be missed by us all!

Oh Jan, the world is going to miss you so much. We were like her kids, and treated us as if we were as well. Sue and I have taken care of her swimming pool for as long as I can remember.She was our first pool service account. Each time we came by she'd have a different story to tell, what an awesome woman she was. You'll be missed dearly. Condolences to Paul and the family. She was such a great friend, to everyone. We love you

Dear Charley, Phyllis, Vivien, and Paul,

It was a privilege to have known your mother.....a real dynamo and a wonderful example of how to live one's life in service to others. She had a beautiful sense of acceptance of others views and situations and was always warm and welcoming whenever our paths crossed. I will truly miss her.

It was a real gift, yesterday, to be in your company and to witness the loving tributes of her family and friends. Thank you for your kindness and...

I met Jan at the Women's Community Center where she was a tireless volunteer for women. Later we got to know each other as we attended classes at OLLI. Bright, vivacious and a staunch supporter of women and their issues. I am was so sorry to hear that her voice has been stilled.
Many prayers to her family.
