Janet Suiter Rost

Bob and family, Cal started kindergarten with Janet and I moved to Ida Grove in the house next door in our first year of high school. From that time on, Janet and I were best of friends or worst of enemies. We got into all sorts of troubles as young people will do. I've been very happy to keep in touch with her through the years even though we rarely were together. We will miss her and feel very blessed to have known both of you. Cal and Dot Besore, Mt. Airy, NC

I worked with Jan many years ago on a project and never laughed or learned so much. My condolences to her family.

Jan brought the best to our community through her tremendous neighborhood community service, her wonderful sense of humor, sharing her caring spirit and just having plain old fun! We will miss her much and know that the positive differences that she made will be everlasting.

Lisa,

My condolences to you and your family.

No one made me feel more at home after returning to Indianapolis to take over my father's business after his sudden death than Jan Rost. Jan was one of the warmest, most approachable and welcoming people I have ever met. I loved her laughter and her dry sense of humor.

Bob and family: please know that you are in my prayers during this sorrowful time.

Dear Glenna Sue and all the Rosts,

Of course, I have the fondest of memories of your mom, from grade school through high school. It's not often that teenagers think parents in general are cool, but I always thought your parents were. Jan had a wonderful (dry!) sense of humor that, I recognize now, masked great affection and warmth for all she loved. I will always remember her with a smile. I send my sincerest condolences and prayers that your happy memories will sustain you. I hope to...

Jan was a great inspiration to me in 1997 when she turned over the reins of the American Pianists Association to me and David Pocock. I was in awe of all she accomplished during her time at APA, with such a small staff and the country to scour for talent. She was so devoted to our pianists! The Indianapolis community owes her a debt of gratitude for being such an effective leader during hard times.
