To the Usher family - I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Your mom was a very sweet lady. I remember when she had Jeanne - Bobby came to school and told everyone in class! He was a proud "big brother"! I was very happy to see Jan again when I started working at Memorial Hospital - we both remembered each other as soon as we ran into each other! She told me that us Thomson's all look alike! You are all in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time - I pray pleasant memories of your mom will give you comfort.

I remember the Halloween I went dressed in your Mom's Nurse uniform. Your Mom was such a lovely person. My sympathies go out to all three of you.

Janice was my best friend since we were very young girls on Terrace Avenue in Pawtucket. Every summer she used to stay with us for a week at Bonnet Shores, where I still live. After she married John (I was maid of honor at their wedding), I spent countless hours at their home where John would educate us on elections and politics while consuming endless cups of coffee. I will always treasure the memories of all the good times we spent together.

I am very sad for the loss of a great woman. She was a wonderful person and raised an amazing and caring family. Her son Bob has been my best friend since Kindergarten. I will miss her.

What can i say? I lost a very special woman in my life on December 26th, My mother in law. Mom i knew you for 18 years, we shared many things, dinners, great times, great memories. Heck, you even said, that you finally found someone to take your daughter off your hands. You always made me feel part of the family, even though i had the in law status, and for that i was always grateful. May you rest in peace and may you look down on us and continue to guide and bless us. I will miss you greatly, but i will never forget you,

"Your favorite son in law", Eddie

Your mom was a remarkable woman, evidenced by the wonderful family she raised. Especially her daughter, alike in so many ways, who followed in her footsteps devoting her life to healing others. Jeanne, you do so with a humor and generosity of spirit severely lacking in this world. You carry her with you in all that you are, my friend.

To the Usher Family,
Your mom was a very kind and thoughtful person. I've had the pleasure of working with her over the years. May you cherish the good memories and hold them close to your heart.

With my deepest sympathy,

I first had the privilege of working with Jan at Memorial Hospital and then we became neighbors on Parker Street. To Jan's children and grandchildren, may happy memories of life with your Mom bring you peace and comfort in the days ahead. Thinking of all of you.
