I will miss her smile that used to get each morning when I enter the hospital for the past 20 years. We always share candy and pictures of family and especiclly grandchildren. I have been out of town, so I miss the services. My best to her family at this time of great loss.##imported-begin##John R. Vydareny MD##imported-end##
Jan, Even though I really didn't know you I would see you when you were out with your dog. I live across the street in Dogwood Meadows and own the Carin Terrier "Roxie". She always wanted to come over to see you and your dog and I brought her over one time to say hello. After that when we would see you out, she always seemed to say "hello" in her own way to you and your dog. We will miss both friendly faces.

I can't tell you how sorry I am that I did't know of Jan's passing until about a hour ago! We returned from Florida last Saturday and my sister just called from there because she had read the obituary in the Press of the 2nd. During our high school years Jan and I spent a great deal of our time together. There are so many "special" times we shared...I was her maid of honor...she was my matron of honor. I moved to California in 1961 for a couple of years and when she was expecting Sandy I found a pink blanket to send. She didn't know how I dared without knowing the sex of the baby...I am sorry we grew apart but one special call she made was to tell me that Sandy and Terri had found the dress she wore for my wedding and they both wanted to wear it to special occiasions and I understand they did. The last time I saw Jan was when leaving the hospital after knee surgery in September, sure did't know it was going to be the last time ..Joyse, Lois, Al, Jan's girls and your families my heart goes out to you.##imported-begin##marilynrumery##imported-end##

I was deeply saddened and shocked to hear about Jan's passing. I'm grateful I was able to see her not too long ago for lunch. I worked with Jan at Blodgett/Spectum Health for 14 years. I worked in the Community Relations department where the Switchboard & Information Desk reported to me via Jackie Heibel.I also knew her sisters Lois and Joyse.
Jan was a wonderful person, so kind, caring and funny. I often spent time chatting with her at the Information Desk. I enjoyed her frogs and photos of her children, grandchildren and dogs. She was very proud of her family and loved them very much. I will miss her terribly. The hospital, community and world has lost a great soul and she will be remembered.
My Prayers and Blessings to the Family

I'm a former co-worker of Jan's. In the fall I would do the Susan Komen Race for the Cure. Jan always gave a to the cause. She believed in awareness. This year when I do the Race, I will do it in her memory. My thoughts and prayers go to her Family.##imported-begin##Donna Pauzenga##imported-end##

So sad to hear of Jan's passing.She was a warm and friendly face at the "desk" Always had a smile and a joke as I went about my rounds at the hospital. We shared jokes, pictures of the grandkids and latest "gossip" around the place. My husband John. the ME also stopped by on his way in and out to catch up. He told me just a cuople weeks ago that Jan had a reoccurance. We both will miss her smiling face. We send our condolences and prayers.##imported-begin##Scotty Connolly RN##imported-end##
Dear Sandy, Terri and Debi,
I was so shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of your Mom. It was just a month ago that she had called our house to console my mother after the passing of my oldest brother.
I will miss your mom's sense of humor, especially how she would give my Dad a hard time. I know my mom loved to play cards with her.
I am sorry I will not be able to make you Mom's service because I will be out of state for work, however, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
