Sandy and family, what a lovely picture of a dear and beautiful lady! I am so happy I got to know Janet through the friendship of Eileen Kohls. I bet they are already at the craft table working on a project. I am also glad that I was able to give communion to her at Main Street Quarters these last few months. I sure did enjoy my visits with her such a kind and gracious person she was. Rest in peace Janet and blessings to your family.

Sandy and family, heartfelt sympathy to you on the loss of your mother, grandmother. Janet was such a special person. She and Bob did so much for the Oregon Area Historical Society. We adored this wonderful lady. She will be remembered with much love and affection.

Dear Sandy and Jan's extended family. Jan was a peach. She was friendly and a vivacious woman. It was always a delight to talk with her. We had a wonderful warm talk at Bob's visitation in the spring. She must have been a wonderful mother. Her death from a well known local family is a loss to the community. I am sorry I can't be with you on Friday as I'm on duty and have Mass at St. Mary's daycare. I extend to you and her extended family sympathy and prayers. May she rest I peace. Fr. Tony Schumacher

Sandy and family,
I read about your Mom on Facebook tonight.. I wrote to her when your dad passed but had not written since.. Had she been ill long? I enjoyed our coffee time at the Memory Care facility before Dick moved to Oregon Manor.. She was a sweetheart and we had many good conversations.. My sympathy to all.
