JAN GRAY

General Gray,

I hope this message in 2023 finds you in good health and spirits. You and your beautiful bride came up in conversation with colleagues this morning. I just want you to know that you both made a difference and left lasting impressions and a beautiful legacy with so many people.

Stephenie Jonas-Sullivan

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. My Condolences sir.

My wife, Evi, and I loved her charm, her kindness, and her friendship. A great lady!

Dear General Gray - I have just learned about the loss of your beloved Jan. I am so very sorry to hear of this. Gary Potts shared her obituary with me and it is clear she was a wonderful woman who touched so many lives - what a gift she was! While I didn't know Jan, I did know you a little, through my dad, Marty Johnson, who worked with you at the Development Center. My dad just thought the world of you. Your name was mentioned around our household for several years and always in the best light. I also recall that you came to my wedding, which really meant a lot to both me and my dad. We lost my dad two years ago on Feb 7. He wasn't sick. Just went to sleep one night and snuck away. We miss him very much. Thank you for the great years you made possible for my dad and our family. I know my dad would be devastated to hear of your loss. On his behalf, I send the deepest of condolences. (Jana Johnson DiCarlo)

Dearest General Gray: I just learned of Jan's death; so sorry for your loss. She was such a special lady, who truly Loved you and your Marine Corps. I will miss her great smile & that laugh of hers.

My deepest sympathies.May the God of all comfort strengthen the entire family during this time of sorrow. Always remember that God keeps in his memory those whom we lose because they are precious in his eyes (Psalms 116:15)

I can't count the wonderful memories and times spent with you and Jan the four years Bart was with you as Aide. Jan was everyone's inspiration, roll model, and most of all friend. I am so sorry for your loss and I know how much she is going to be missed. Take care of you.

Jack and I send our deepest sympathy on your loss. Just a month ago I received an email with a photo taken at your house after the Evening parade. The Youngs, Mufflers and you and Jan all looked so young and happy. Thanks for the memories. Know you will have many memories to help comfort your at this time. To quote you "take care of yourself and take care of each other."

Judy and Jack from your home state of New Jersey send our deepest sympathy. Just the other day I got an email with a picture of us, the Mufflers and you and Jan. It was taken when we were at your house after the evening parade. Thanks for the memories. Know you will have many to comfort you in the days ahead. "Take care of yourself and take care of each other." Will always remember how you ended your speeches.

Al,
Judy and I are sad, but we know how much she has already given to us and how well she has been received by God. She will live in our hearts always.
