A year has passed and it still hurts. I think about Jan often while I'm at work, and I miss her very much. Her blue eyes, and her bright smile. She was fun to get "aggravated". She understood my moods, and was so sensible. Let's all keep her close in our hearts this holiday season. Alan

Bob,
I was SO sorry to hear of Janis's death from Marti Smith. As I read the entries here, it's clear that she remained throughout her life the warm, kind, funny, beautiful, and loving person she was in school.

Dear Bob, Jamie, and Jeff. Jan was my friend. My so-called work wife. If you work with someone so closely over the years you get to know them pretty well.
We agreed about things, and we disagreed. But, Jan was ALWAYS patient. It was always a pleasure to see her at work in the morning.
But it is all that was UNSPOKEN between us that I'll remember the most. The subtle understanding from those bright blue eyes. The communication between us without words. She was a special...

Mr. Mitchell, Jamie and Jeff,
Memories immediately entered my and my family's mind. Our hearts' go out to the Mitchells in their time of need. Looking back, one of the best ways to show that you truly love and care about someone is to always be there for him/her. Mrs. Mitchell was a kind soul, and she was always there for her family. I grew up playing sports with her sons, and I witnessed first hand her love for her family. From one close family to another, deepest and sincerest...
