My heart is breaking right now…I worked with Jan at Dow Chemical in Houston, TX for several years and considered her one of my best friends. She was godmother to my oldest daughter and Courtney absolutely adored her. I know she is happy now being with her beloved Joe. God Bless You, Jan…You will be so missed!!!
My sympathy goes out to Janet’s family! She was my classmate in school and she was a very special person! May God be with you during this sad time!
We loved Janet so much. She was our next door neighbor for 21 years. She was an honorary grandmother to our kids. It was our honor to look after our sweet Janet and we will miss her so much.
