Mrs Schick (Jan) will be missed so much - I will never forget her. She trusted me with her children when I was just starting to babysit. I hope that I have the great relationship with my children that I saw her have with Kerry & Amy. She was such a GREAT person. I am so glad she was a part of my life. Love and prayers to Mr. Schick, Kerry & Amy.

There is a song called "Angels Amoung Us",whether she knew it or not, she was one of them.I met Jan,as a patient of one of the doctors she worked with. She went way beyond the call of duty and made it look so easy and natural.She didn't have to do that, she just did without question or pause,it was who she was. She became an example to me of unconditional love and acceptance,she embodied the saying "any kindness I can do,let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again!" I was a recipient of that kindness and I shall be forever grateful she passed my way. Jan is out of any pain she suffered but my world is a sadder place because there are so few "angels" among us.

Janet has been my life long friend and the Sister I never had. We have shared so many wonderful memories during our journey through life. I always have cherished our friendship and I feel very blessed to have had her as my friend. Janet will always have a special place in my heart.

Although its been 20 years since I last saw Aunt Janet, I still think fondly of her kind and generous spirit when I was a child.



The story goes that when I was little she gave my Mom (Audrey Marx) a special angel tree top and for the past 40+ years it hasn't been Christmas without adding "Angie the Angel" to the tree. We will continue the tradition of adding the angel to the tree and will always think of the smiles and laughter Aunt Janet brought to us all.



My deepest sympathy to her family.

Friends Forever, that was Jan and I. Jan was my special friend. she changed my life just by being part of it. She was the friend I laughed with, cryed with, joked with. She understood me, accepted me and loved me. She was the best friend she could be and I will miss her everyday. I thank her for sharing her family with me. Love you

My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and close friends. This is a terrible loss for all those who were touched by this amazing woman. I will miss the times we would laugh over the phone at work and when I would go see her at Waukesha when we would have Chocolate Shakes from Wendys. Jan, you will be greatly missed.

Jan and I worked together for three years at Aurora Behavioral Health in the Waukesha. I had asked my supervisor, Kate Connelly, if she would send Jan out here when Family Health closed and she did.



Jan and I would laugh together and share family stories. When she was diagnosed with the Cancer, she never complained i.e."Why me?". She did what needed to be done for herself and her family.



We all miss her and remember how feisty she was. She made a huge impression on me and I will never forget her. I'm so glad that her pain is over. God bless her family.
