The memorial service for Jan was beautiful. Marnie stood up for the family and made it so easy for everyone to say something about Jan. So many funny and loving memories of Jan was shared. Jan is so very much loved and missed and that was stated by all the people in attendance. Marnie, you did an amazing thing taking a difficult task and making it so easy for the rest of us. We are very grateful to you for being there. Jan you will never be forgotten and my love for you will never die. We were closer than two sisters could be. Your friend forever, Jean Patterson

From the moment I met Jan, I knew what a special person she was. She always went out of her way to make my family feel welcome. Whenever I think of Jan, I remember her great love of her family. I am privileged to have been blessed by knowing her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of sadness. Much love, Evan, Becky & Girls

I am the oldest of four, Janice our middle sibling! When Janice was young, our neighbors would call her Cookie! Her face would light up! My fondest memory is when she got a round brush tangled up in my hair! It was BAD! We laughed till we cried! It was so tight to my scalp she couldn't cut the hair, let alone I would of been bald! Every time I would look in the mirror to see if she was making any progress, I saw her profuse sweating from nerves! I would start the laughing all over again! We ended up on the bedroom floor, laughing so hard our ribs hurt! Although, I am not recognized as the big sister, I have always loved Janice! An Angel came and said, "take my hand, we will soar to the Perfect Place! Endless flowers, so much Joy, no pain or sickness!" As they flew to the Pesrly Gates, Janice is smiling of the greatest joy! Rest in Peace Sister??

I am lucky to have Janice as my sister and my friend. Your huge heart and contagious laughed will never be forgotten. I will cherish our childhood memories and our more recent telephone calls. You took pride in being a good wife and mother. You always kept your sense of humor even during your most painful times. You taught me how really lucky I am. You never felt sorry for yourself. I admire your strength and will miss you. We shared a passion for our pets and we sure had many since we were small. We shared a love for vintage and Antiques and we were thrilled when we came across a good find at a garage sale or Goodwill. We will miss you and think of you everyday. Thank you for being a good Aunt to Blake. My heart hurts for Doug, Jennifer and Jason. Eureka wont be the same. I love you my sister. XO

Many great childhood memories of my cousin Janice. Her great sense of humor and laughter! My deepest sympathies to Doug, children and grandchildren. I'm sorry that we didn't keep close contact as adults. I planned to visit someday and wish I would have. Janice will always remain in memories and may the memories be a comfort to you. She was too young to leave this world and I know she will be missed by her family and friends. May God Bless You All! Peter & Laurie Fraire

Heidi and I are both greatly saddened by this loss to you and the family. It was always a fun time for us seeing you at the CLSA parties. You two built a beautiful home, and so many children and grand kids to carry on the family tree.

We were just talking about you guys last week about when we first met you in Auberry. In later years we weren't in touch as often but there are lots of great memories and stories I'd like to share with you sometime soon. Thinking of you, "Dancing Dog".

We laughed a lot at silly things; most of the time Douglas didn't know why which made it funnier. She had a big shoulder which I often used. RIP

Doug, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how much I loved her and how much I will miss her. I could never imagine how much you lost, I just know it is a great loss.

Doug we are so sorry for your loss. I will miss so much seeing her at the drag strip. I was always so happy to see both of you and then scheming with Janice for you to have to pay her $10.00 entrance fee. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Kathy & Dan

To Doug,
I used to work with Janice before she retired. She was a kick and a heck of a good worker. I continued to run into her at swap meets or the dragstrip and chat a few minutes. My stepson lived around the corner from you and I used to see Janice out there painting your house with a brush. She did love "home". My sincere condolences on your loss.
