Janice Foss

Jan was a ray of sunshine in the lives of every person who was blessed to know her. Jan was my neighbor for many years in the '60s and 70's when I was growing up. We reconnected years later and became great friends. I always received and deeply appreciated Jan's love and kindness and will be forever grateful for the gift of her friendship. Our laughter and bond will be my treasured memory. Rest peacefully in heaven dear Jan. Aloha a hui hoa (until we meet again).

The Schalow family has wonderful memories of the Foss family, and especially of Jan at this time. My mom remembers well working with Jan at the bank. She treasures the memory of how Jan, Harold, our late dad, and she lovingly welcomed and assisted a Vietnamese refugee family sponsored by our church in the 1970s. When my mom told me of Jan’s passing, she said, “Well done, Jan. You earned many jewels in your heavenly crown.” My two remaining brothers and I have warm, loving memories of Jan. One of my favorite keepsakes from my childhood is the book I received from the Foss family on my third birthday. (Look at that unmistakable penmanship!) I continue to treasure it as a tangible reminder of a woman, and a family, who has meant so much to ours. We send our love. Jeanette, Tom, Larry and Greg Schalow

Al and Janeen, Although it has been over 45 years since I last saw your mom, I remember her as always having a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone. May God’s peace be with you and you families. Larry Schalow

Jan blessed so many with her kindness, thoughtfulness and laughter, not to mention her lovely penmanship and beautiful smile. Jan & my mom grew up as neighbors on Helena Street and our families got together often. Lots of fond memories of my sister & I putting on parades with Al and Janeen while our parents played cards. The year my friends threw a surprise party for me I was disappointed that we were not, in fact, going to the Fosses that night as I had been led to believe. :) What a blessing to have Jan in our lives. Rest in heavenly peace sweet angel. Our thoughts are with you & your families, Al and Janeen. love, Debbie

Jan was such a dear sweet lady. We are neighbors now with Al and Sandy, but were also neighbors of Jan and Harold when they lived on our street. Bob and I also remember Harold - and how he would ride his bike around the neighborhood visiting along the way. What a sweet couple they were. Our sympathies to Al and Sandy and to the family.
