Not sure what to say?

I am so very sorry for your loss.

I have such fond memories of spending hours on the floor of Millrace looking at books with our daughters Morgan and Birch...it was their favorite place to go. Jan was also a great supporter of the Farmington River...selling more of our River Guides than anyone. She was always so anxious to help!

My deepest sympathy I'm sending to the Guy Owens Family at this time of your dear loss. What a great example, sweet lady, energetic spirit and kind heart you were blessed with! I looked so forward, as a child, to your family trip to "Rim Ranch at Palo Dura Canyon in Texas each summer. What great memories from "hot dog" cookouts on the edge of the canyon, Guy's "Indian" stories, "4th of July ballets" and "Donkey cart" rides! Amazing great times with your Mom, Vicki and Park, who will be so...

I was saddened to hear of Jan's passing on Christmas Day. She was the perfect person we could always go to and who we would know of the perfect gift to give at Christmas.

My deepest sympathy I'm sending to the Guy Owens Family at this time of your loss! What a great example, sweet lady, energetic spirit and kind heart you were blessed with in Jan! I looked so forward to your family trip to Rim Ranch, Amarillo Texas every summer. What great memories from "hot dog roasts" on the edge of Palo Dura Canyon, Guys "ghost" stories and "donkey cart" rides! Amazing great times we had with your Mom, Vicki and Park, who will be so greatly missed! Love and Prayers

I have such fond childhood memories of Guy, Jan, Park, and Vicki at the ranch! What good times we had! Jan was an incredible lady with such a loving spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole Owens family during this time of great loss.

Jan was one of the first booksellers that I got to talk to when I started selling. She was always so lovely and warm, and I'm sad to hear of her passing. Her memory will remain a good one, and the world will miss her.

This is such sad news. Jan was a wonderful friend to me and my son Steve Inzer for many, many years.
