Not sure what to say?

I am heartbroken to learn of Janet's passing. She was my oldest friend and we shared our birthdays on December 7. Just learned of her death and sorry that I have not expressed my condolences to her family earlier. Dorothy Magneson Sprouse

I just learned today of Jan's passing. We knew each other from Cleveland Heights City Hall in the early '80's and she was one of my earliest knitting mentors and I still have many of her printed articles and instructions. Jan was one-of-a-kind, so sweet, caring and helpful. My heart goes out in sympathy to her family and many friends. RIP, Jan.

Jan was my knitting mentor during a really hard time in my life in Cleveland. I have thought of her many times over the years, and her positive impact on my life is immeasurable. She truly was a shining light, an amazing teacher, a true friend to so many of us. Memory eternal, Jan.

My wonderful friend will be missed by many.
Jan touched so many lives.
She taught me to love knitting.
Rest In Peace, dear one ♥

Jan and I entered knitware at the Ohio State fair many years ago and took many awards. She was one of the founding members of the north coast knitting guild of Cleveland oh and kept in touch with us after moving to Atlanta She will be remembered fondly.

I will miss you so much! Your kindness meant so much to me. You were one of a kind and such a pioneer in the fiber arts world. You touched so many lives over your career in the fiber world. Prayers for your sweet family.

I'm sorry for your loss. May the true God of all comfort, comfort those mourning and bind up the broken-hearted.
