Wendy & family, May the grief you now feel in your hearts soon be replaced by the happiest memories each of you have of her. May she rest in peace.

Jan was a good friend indeed. Kim (Andrews) Smith Seattle WA

What a great friend she was!

My Deepest Condolences to Wendy,Grant,Doug ,their spouses, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I have very fond and meaningful memories of my Godmother - Aunt Janny. Her smile, laugh and voice will forever remain in my heart. Her passion for life was impressionable. She touched so many peoples lives.I treasure her memory. I pray for comfort and peace to all that loved and knew her. Rest in Peace my Sweet Aunt Janet!

I had the privilege of having Jan serve both as my House Mom at FarmHouse and professor at the University of Nebraska, and Jan was the best of both. Jan was an inspiration in her service to others and helped to teach many of us her core values of empathy, decency, compassion.

I treasured my long friendship with Jan who I met when I was at UNL and part of the NHRI program. She and Dr Dodge were quite a team and I was grateful to connect with her sporadically over the years by message and Christmas cards and a few visits in Lincoln over the years! I pray that my children find a friend and mentor like Jan during their college years! Sending much love and many prayers of comfort for all of her family and friends. To know Jan was to love her!

So sorry for your loss. Always enjoyed doing ur moms hair Becky brauer
