I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since she passed away. Her gifts to this world are her sons, in whom I I know she’s looking down on from above, saying, “So proud of you!” Sweet memories of this dear lady...❤

Jonathan, Trey, Harb family,
My family and I are so sorry to hear about your loss.
I have many fond memories of spending time with Jonathan, Trey, and Jane as we kids grew up in Boone. Jane's love for you all and encouragement of our hobbies (which often took over major parts of the house) was evident. I particularly remember her wonderful blackberry cobbler as well as many meals she prepared for us as ravenous teenagers while reminding us to use proper table manners.
I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to have known her, but we will all miss her. Our family will be thinking about all of you in this difficult time.
Best Regards,
Brett, Debbie, and Simone

Dr. Harb was a professor of mine, my favorite actually. She was a kind, sweet woman who truly cared for her students. I remember one night she had us over for dinner. I am sure she did that with every graduating class. She even helped me with job leads years after graduating. A great woman, so sorry for your loss.

Jonathon, Trey, Richard, Bobby, Margaret Ann and Janie's Extended Family,
My deepest sympathies to you. I have such fond memories of Janie up on the mountain and all the holidays we shared. I remember the Christmas when she gave Uncle Dick the painting of the Irish Setters. I can still see her coming down the stairs in her Christmas outfit. She reminded me of the beautiful Christmas Barbie doll. Janie was so soft spoken and the very embodiment of a true southern lady. Yet Janie had a resolve to be the very best she could be and be a major contributor to benefit society. She was very proud to be a Mother and grandmother and did her very best to raise her sons to be the best they could be. She was there for me when I was going though my custody battle and offered me invaluable wisdom and words of advice. Janie was my cousin but also a friend. My biggest regret is that we all went our separate ways and lost touch with each other though the years.
Richard, Bobby and Margaret Ann,
I know you will miss your sister but when you do think of all the fun times you shared; living on the mountain, stopping by Grandma Cecil's for lunches, all the holidays, all the animals, your Mother and Father. And know they are all rejoying in Heaven and welcoming Janie with open arms. And I'm sure Janie is there trying to redesign the color scheme...lol. Seriously Janie is there in heaven looking down on you and sending all the love she can back to you.
Trey and Jonathan,
I know how much you will miss your Mother and all the wonderful memories you shared. You will look towards the heavens and see her there. You will see her in the flowers and you will feel her wrap her arms around you and hear her say "I will love you always".
Your Mother and Sister has not left you and never will; she just went to Heaven.
My love, prayers and deepest sympathies to you all.
Carolyn

Jonathon, Trey and Family,
I hope that it helps knowing that I am sending thoughts and prayers from New York. My fondest memories of Janie were our Holiday Gatherings up on the Mountain and Fishing at the Dooley Hole. Janie always had a bright and beautiful smile and lit up the room with her presence.
With deepest sympathy,
Robyn

Trey and Jonathan and family: We are saddened by your mother's death. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother and person. All who knew her loved her. We have fond memories of our friendship in Boone and not long ago we received a call from her wanting to know how we liked our new home. She was a gem and an angel for all of us. Our thoughts, prayers and love are being sent with this message. Keith and Pat Weber, Indian Land, SC

Jane will be missed dearly. She was a wonderful person, inside and out. She was our neighbor for about 15 years. She would always call and bring the kids candy, gifts, etc.. We are grateful for knowing Jane. She was not just a neighbor, but a dear friend.

We'll miss you Jane! Thanks for ALL you did for us! You loved our students almost as much as her your own, which we all know was enormous! Thinking of you Trey and Jonathan and family! Let us know if there is anything we can do.

Jane was a treasured friend whose long- distant phone calls and occasional lunches in Boone leave me with fondest memories of her. Jane was a joy to know and I admired her in so many way. I will miss her greatly. To Trey and Jonathan, she spoke of you every time I talked to her and loved you with all her heart. She also spoke lovingly of her brothers and their families. To each of you, my deepest condolence in the loss of a very special person in your lives. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
