Jan, Still miss you so much, and still love you so much, and picture our fun and crazy times together!
Still get tears when I look at pictures from Lake Winnepesaukee where we vacationed with our kids. "Hold on" you would repeat to Brett as
he would say this over and over!
We just celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary! Can you believe it?! You were our Maid of Honor and my roommate for so very many years. I miss you, Jani- girl! Until we meet again..... Rita and Dick, too.

I can´t believe it has been 8 years now since you have been gone. I still imagine our phone calls and the crazy times we had. I miss you as much today as when you left us. You were our Maid of Honor and we recently celebrated our 49th anniversary. So.... I just want you to know how much I miss and love you. Also, your girls are beautiful and I am so glad we see them on Facebook. Love you, girlfriend! Rita and Dick

Six years later and I still have an empty place in my heart. I see you every day on our digital photo frame, and think of all our phone calls where we solved the worlds problems! I can hear your laugh (which I dearly miss) and I see your face through your daughters. You were so special. Love you girlfriend!

Dear Dick, Jennifer and Meghan,
I loved Jan like a sister. She helped me grow into who I am today, good and bad, I might add. I will never forget her laugh and her antics. What a fantastic roommate.
Love and miss you forever, Dingy

When I think of Jan, I think of laughter, smiles, and great fun times during high school, college, and "grownup" days. She always brought uplifting joy to me AND my parents. Jan was my maid of honor, and you, Tierneys seemed to have the best time at our wedding. I am so sad I did not touch base with her these past years. Big hugs go to Johnny, Jeff, Maggie, Jennifer, and Meghan. I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Jan with many smiles.
