Janice Marie Czarnecki

Wonderful friend I met at Target servicing the greeting card racks. I looked forward to working my account and we talked about the Cardinals. Such a lovely lady and missed.

I grew up as a backyard neighbor of the Peers. I remember softball games in our side yard with Jan and her brothers and sister. She was such a fun, genuine person. My mother was especially fond of Jan and worked with her on various activities at Assumption. To the Peer and Czarnecki families, I am truly sorry for your loss.

Wally, Mary, Steve, & Rosanna:
I am so sorry for your huge loss. Through the years Jan has been such a special friend to my parents. She will truly be missed by many.

Jan taught me how to coach volleyball while sitting at a table in the lobby at Assumption gym. She patiently used the lids of Gatorade bottles and slid them here and there to give me an understanding of the 6-2, 5-1, but most of all to help me understand how the sport of volleyball could be a great way to reach, teach, and inspire. She certainly inspired me. Her legacy to Assumption volleyball is strong and lasting. I'm blessed to have known her.

I first met Jan in about 1995 at Target Kirkwood where she and I were working for our respective greeting card companies. I immediately liked her and her humor. We were both alike in our work habits--fast and efficient. We would tease each other about that. Was being so fast , a curse or a blessing? We laughed. I shall miss Jan and know she is in heaven humoring everyone. Love, Phyllis Jenkins, Kirkwood, MO.

Our prayers are with you, Wally, and your family during this sad and emotional period. May God give you and yours great peace during this Holidays Season.

Wally, Mary, Steve, Rosanna & Braden, My thoughts and prayers are with you today and will continue to be in the days to come. Love, Jan
