Not sure what to say?

I have thought of Jan many times during this past year, always with a smile, and send those thoughts and smiles to all her family on this one year anniversary.

My sincere condolences for all of Jan's family. We worked together at the Veterans' Home in both the nursing and education departments. I have great memories of the teaching programs we provided for staff. We had a lot of fun and Jan was a great inspiration.

To MaryJo and her entire family we are very story for loss. It is very sad to lose your Mom but all the good memories will leave you some peace. I knew Jan from the fire department as a lovely and gracious person. May she rest with our Lord in Heaven.

Thinking of you and remembering your mom today and know she is with your Dad and once again smiling down at her beautiful and loving family knowing her legacy lives on through all of you. XOXO Aunt Jackie, Uncle Bob, Gloria and Adam.

I taught with Jan at Jubilee House and we had such great fun at coffee break. She spilled over with a beautiful smile and warmth. Sympathy and prayers for all her much loved daughters.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Your mom was an amazing, funny and brave woman. I worked with her for many years at the library and then with the Friends of the Library and on projects at church. Such a giving and caring person. I also have fond memories of gatherings at your home over the years. I will miss her. I hope that your memories give you comfort at this difficult time.

Dear Anna, Brian, and Family, We express our deepest condolences on the loss of your loved one. We are praying for you as you walk through this difficult journey. Blessings, Chuck & Barbara Robison

Jan was a beautiful person inside and out. She lived across the hall from me at SFHSN and was a warm, caring person. She always had a smile. Now she is reunited with her love Joe.

Dear Family I remember her well. Your family has now lost both parents in a short time. My prayers will be with all for a long time.
