I so enjoyed Mrs. Boyle, as well as her husband, in so many old western series appearances. She was beautiful, talented, spunky, distinctive. I could pick her out by her voice. I wish all her family and friends my sincere condolences. Jan was a great lady, and also, I´m from her hometown.

I met Jan at a film festival in north Mississippi at the Whispering Pines Hotel. She was a most gracious person and let me converse with her through her email. I'll never forget her and am hoping she is with the Lord now. My condolences to her family and am happy she had a long and fruitful life. Rest in peace, Jan.
Love in Christ, Kim Hyback
