Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of loss of your wife, mother, grandmother & great grandmother.
We feel blessed to have crossed paths with Jan many years ago, and will treasure our memories and keep them close in our hearts always.
...but perhaps just knowing that we are thinking of you with sympathy and understanding will somehow help give you strength at this difficult time.
Love to all,

I WAS SADDENED TO READ OF JANET'S PASSING. I GRADUATED WITH
HER IN 1953 AND REMEMBER HER AS A GENTLE, FUN PERSON. SHE
MADE QUITE AN IMPACT UPON ALL OF US IN 10TH GRADE BIOLOGY.
SHE ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE OF TAKING A SNAKE OUT OF THE
CONTAINER! ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT SEEN IN RECENT YEARS, MY MEMOR
ORY OF HER IS A GOOD ONE..I AM CERTAIN SHE WAS A LOVING
MOTHER,GRANDMOTHER. !
