Al and Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you on the loss of Jan. As a child I can remember you, Jan and my parents at the ball field, and the laughter that was always around when all of you were together. I called my dad to let him know and he sends his thoughts and prayers to all of you too.

To Al and the whole family. I am so sorry for your lost. Jan, will be missed deeply. Jan has been my freind since the early 1980's. We worked retail for many years and shared alot of laughs together. Jan was my e-mail buddy after I moved from Indiana. Jan loved her pets and so do I. She would care deeply for these aniamals and we have alot of talks about our children and how silly our pets could be. I will miss her very much.

Al,

My most sincere condolences to you and your family. Janice certainly did love her grandchildren and her pets! As she crossed that Rainbow Bridge, all those previously lost pets met her, ready to play once more, with no more pain or suffering.
