I am shocked by the passing of Jana I haven't seen her for many years, since our time we worked at Highlights for Children. She was a strong worker, powerful friend, and she intensely loved her family. What a tremendous person, I know she will be severely missed. God bless her family and help them to remember the gift she was to them.

No words can express our sorrow. We all know what a fighter Jana was her entire life-and this time was no different. We hope you find peace knowing she is no longer in pain and is with our Lord, David and Becky forever. Love, prayers and encouragement to everyone who will miss her.

My condolences to the family,I worked with Jana for many years this past year was a hard one for her but she always kept her head up.She was a warrior I don't know how many times she would ask how I was doing and praying for me and everyone else when she was going through so much herself.She will be missed by many but she will have no more pain.
She loved her children and grandchildren she talked about you all the time and Steve she made sure we all knew that was her man,words can't express enough how sorry I am for your loss but always remember the love she had for you God Bless you all
