Karen OrlandoDear Aunt Janice, I saw you in July at Fred’s wake and I regret that I forgot to share a childhood memory of you. I must have been 7 or 8 years old and you took me to your house to spend the night. The next day we went shopping & you bought a blue dress for me that I loved. I still remember to this day how I felt wearing it. My thanks to you from the bottom of my heart for that little blue dress. May you Rest In Peace. With love, your niece Karen Loew Orlando.

Nancy GardanierSo sorry to hear. Jan will forever be etched in my heart and memories. We worked together for Job Service and had such a wild time. Jan was full of spit and vinegar for sure! Nearly killed her one summer canning and pickling produce from my dads garden. We made eggplant melanzane for your dad and put it through the wringer of a washing machine to get out all the moisture. Your dad was a sweetheart and had a lot of laughs with both of them.. Have thought of her over the years and we should have never lost touch but we will see each other on the other side one day. I'm sure she is trying to organize heaven her way by now. Nancy Gardanier
