Janet Rickard Memoriam

RICKARD, JANET L.

01/05/1945-08/24/2005

A year has passed and life without you has been God's cross for us to bear. We miss your courage, sweet smile, wit, selflessness, and sense of humor. But, most of all, we miss your daily presence, which enriched all of us. With love, Tom, Jonathan, Leo, and Bernie.

Jan,

I miss you so much and think of you everyday. I hope you felt our toast to you at our DZ reunion. You will always be with me in my heart.

Jan, we just never had enough time with you so we understand how those who knew you best can feel so cheated by the loss of your daily presence. But you live on in all of our hearts and you still can bring a smile to our faces.

It is hard for us to believe that it has been a year. It seems as if you are always present and are somehow guiding us. We miss you more than you could ever know.

Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan

How can it be that you've been gone a year? I've felt your presence many times and just smile. You're a treasure, dear friend.

Jan, we will never forget your grace, your smile, your impeccable style, and your delightfully wicked wit. On this, the first year's anniversary of your passing, we are doing our best to remember only the good times, and with inevitable melancholy to reflect on how much you enriched our lives.



With love and fond remembrance,



- Chris & Jan
