Not sure what to say?

I knew Jan for many years as a friend and participant in her studio sales. She always had a smile and and a valiant spirit. Never one to complain when she got sick. She will be missed by her many friends.

Jan always gave you her smile and it was genuine. I remember how happy she was for me at my wedding shower in 1968. Her daughter was the light of her life as she sahred with us at one of the class reuninons. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. My thoughts and parayers go out to her family and close friends. I know she will be missed.

One of the finest, most graceful people I ever met; Jan will be terribly missed by all.

Dear Jan:
I liked you from the first time I met you; were we five? Your smile and the sound of your laughter is crystal clear in my mind. It was at your house that we all first played 'truth or dare.' I think you made me ring the doorbell with my nose. Your spirit has always been one of independence for me, and even so, boy, was I impressed when you went into the Peace Corps and then ended up in Boston and started designing! It raised the bar for a lot of us. Your visits to Seattle were...

I knew Jan from the WEH where we all swam. While we weren't close, I appreciated her spirit and her talent. She was a very special person.

Even in junior high and high school, Janice had a great sense of style. She was the one I looked to when I needed to know what was "cool."

I'm sad that we lost touch as we each moved to different parts of the country. I will always remember her expressive eyes and happy smile and the many talks we had as we journeyed thru our teen years.

My heart goes out to Maria. I hope you will sense the positive impact your mom had on the people in her life and that you sense her happy and...

Jan's wonderful warm smile, and complementary heart, will be remembered by all.

I had the good fortune to work with Jan for many years selling her wonderful clothing line. She was not only an exceptional designer-- she was truly fun to work with. I will always remember that amazing time working with her. My love and prayers, to Maria her family and close friends. Jan will be greatly missed by all of us.

I will always remember how much fun we had growing up and I will miss Jan. I wish I had been closer to her as adult women, we had so much in common but really did not get to share it. It sounds like she led an amazing life and her daughter is very lucky to have had her in her life. With much saddness goodbye Jan,
