Not sure what to say?

Janet lived a full wonderful life and her memories will be shared by all who loved her.

I will always remember the house on the hill and the fond memories that came with it.. I will miss Jan, Robby and bill, but I will never forget, them may they rest in pease

Jan will be truly missed but I know her stories and memories will live on through her 4 beautiful, courageous, loving daughters and their families. I remember always having hot chocolate at her house and reading books, dressing up, running through the field below the house and Robby and I being best buds with Alison, Dennis and Twila and Larry always part of our "gang", I loved her dearly, just sad I hadn't seen her in so many years since leaving Anchor Point.

I love that you will keep her memory alive for her grandchildren. And thank-you for sharing her with the rest of us. I still think of Robby now and then, and am glad they are reunited. Loving thoughts to all of you who remain. Russell and Deanna Chesser

Dearest Rabich women, loads of love to you and all the grandkids and sons-in law. The IQ and humor of Alaska has just dropped exponentially. I'm glad we still have you four brilliant beauties to treasure. And we do. Love, Mary and Lily Mullen

So sad to hear of Jan's passing. I have so many wonderful memories of her. She was my first "grandmother" so to speak. I remember running around the house, shooting my cap gun (which I think Alison took away because it was annoying...don't blame her!), riding in Robby's dump truck, being loved by your family. I still remember saying I was going to be a beauty queen, marry Robby and live in purple trailer. Fond memories...she was a great and strong woman who will be missed. My thoughts...

I am so sorry to hear this. Many of my best memories of growing up in Anchor Point involved Bill and Jan. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
