After reading all the entries in this book I know, though I never had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Star, that she was truly a giving and loving person. Then attending the service yesterday I realized that she was emulating Christ as we are taught to do as Christians. I then thought of this prayer of Saint Francis as I reflected on it all.
"Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life."
I think this could be Mrs. Stars prayer and she would want it to be ours also.

For all the years we have known Jan she was always the perfect Hostess. She always wanted to know that you were happpy and satisfied with your accommodations. It didn't matter if we were in Boston, San Francisco, or Milwaukee, she wanted you to be happy with what had been planned for you. I always looked up to Jan for her personality and ability to converse well with anyone about anything and I don't think she ever knew a stranger. As those have said before me - She always welcomed you into the "fold" and always made you feel at home, I will forever remember the helicopter trip over the Grand Canyon with her. Thank you, Jan for being you and all the wonderful memories.
A warm hug and prayers for all the Family

I grew up with Jan and Dick's youngest son, Dan, and have felt a part of the family for over 30 years. Jan was always so loving and supportive, making sure that I knew I had a place in her heart. She truly did have an enormous heart, and I will always be grateful to her for the kindness and affection she showed me. Her loving nature is the wonderful legacy she leaves us all with.

This world will never be the same without Jan's warm personality and fabulous sense of humor. When Ellen and I first met her at the Christmas party almost 25 years ago, we were a couple of nervous kids. But Jan made us feel so comfortable, so welcomed. She was that way with everyone, always the highlight of the party.
We will miss her very much, and are praying that God will be especially close to you Dick, Rick, Lori, Bradley, Alexander, Jeff and Dan during this difficult time of mourning.

I am so sorry to hear of Jan's passing. I only met her once, at the Engman-Taylor Christmas party a few years ago. She was waiting in the lobby for Dick to bring the car around, and she began a conversation with me. She was so friendly with someone she had never met before, and I never forgot that. Through all that I have heard and read about Jan, I know that she leaves a legacy of love, caring and compassion for others. She is the kind of person who touches the world.

My fondest memories of Jan Star always included her love of “family” & “children”. Jan could always be found at ETCO functions holding or “fawning” over the new additions to the ETCO Family, and when her grandsons were born she could not have been more overjoyed or proud…She was awesome Grandma, and the boys were blessed to have had her in their lives…WE have all lost a warm, sweet and loving friend, but the Lord has gained an “exceptional” angel.. We will see her again…My deepest sympathies to the entire family…………..Cheryl Kowalske

I had the pleasure of meeting Janet on only a few occassions but what I remember most was her true love of family. No bond is as great as that between a husband and wife, or a parent and child.
