    Paul, I didn’t realize that Jan had passed. We had one of Cedric’s pups, Bea. I used to love to see the pictures Jan posted of her beloved crew. I’m so sorry for your loss. She is missed.

    My condolences to Jan’s family and friends and to you , Paul. Jan came to me many years ago for chiropractic treatments and I have never forgotten her. She introduced me to the Leonberger breed and I remember she told me about having one ( or two ? ) dogs coming from Europe to her home. We both shared a love of paint horses too and when I drive by I look at your farm, Paul, I see the horses and I think of Jan. I am so sorry for your loss.

    Paul,
    Sending my condolences to you on the loss of Janet. I was shocked to read this on here. I used to enjoy talking to her when she came into the pharmacy. May your memories give you some comfort.

    Our sincere sympathy to all Jan’s loved ones. We were shocked and so saddened to learn of Jan’s passing. The neighbourhood grapevine didn’t reach us, Paul. I was looking forward to visiting you with zucchini bread and hoping to enjoy a glass of wine with both of you. Our thoughts are with you, Paul.

    It’s so hard to think that Jan is gone. We want to send you condolences to you Paul and the rest of the family.
    Dick and I are so glad that we got to visit with Jan at the hospice. She knew we were there and got a big smile from her.
    We will miss her
