Jan was part of my Cancer Support Group in Great Barrington. I only knew her for a short time, but know that she was a wonderful lady. I found out tonight when I finally went back to the group after being absent for a month. I was shocked and saddened to hear the news. I am so sorry and even though you don't know me, I wish you the best in the future. She was a brave and wonderful person.

I would like to offer my condolenses to your family. When a loved one falls asleep in death God’s own words in the Bible offers some comfort.
Please read in your Bible: 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 and John 5:28,29.

Mike, Whitney, and Kayla ---

Jan's passing is sad on so many different levels. She spoke to me on countless occasions about the depth of her love for you I know you were sturdy pillars of love and support for her all throughout her life and her illness..

Jan was (and remains) an inspiration in her care and connection to our community.

Ours hearts are with you and her.

Dearest Mike, Whitney, Kayla, Spike, Ruthie, and Johnie,
Our hearts are so saddened with your loss of Janie (Mama). My best friend since we could speak and Victoria's God Mama. Janie (like her Mom) had a wonderful sole, a caring heart, and a loving presence, Then there was that spit fire of a jokester that if you were on the receiving end you better watch out, just ask Hal. Hold onto so many wonderful memories and may they help your broken hearts heal. Mama would want us to be strong so as long as we have each other to lean on it will be ok in time, we promise. Till we meet again my "bestie" and save one of those goat teeth smiles for me. Love and hugs always!!
