I am so saddened that we have all lost a wonderful friend and neighbor. What a wonderful person, with a kind heart, and a giving spirit. She will certainly be remembered for all the lives she touch in the school system and those of us that knew her are better people for that.

I am so sorry to her family for their loss. I worked with Jan at Healthsouth Rehab Hospital several years ago. I really enjoyed working with her. She was really a go getter, and would talk about the children she taught. I believe she loved teaching as much as she did nursing. My prayers are with the family.

I was saddened to hear of Shadbolt's passing. She was a wonderful teacher and an even better co-worker. She always stressed that you should treat your students with compassion. Shadbolt had a great influence on anyone who went through her class.
