So very sad, I'm sad to read this. Janie was a favorite of all of us, don't believe there was even 1 person in our class who did not like her. Always laughing/smiling and so very full of life. We talked back in March '11 via this web site. She was looking forward to attending our reunion this Sept. and seeing us all!........ We go through our lives meeting many different people and a few of those leave a lasting & positive impression on us. Janie was one of those kinds of people. RIP Janie, you will be forever missed and loved! You are gone but never forgotten.

I'm so sorry to just find out about Jane. I will always remember the trouble we all got into in high school and was hoping to renew our friendships. She will be missed. Linda Ostman Parchert, Fredonia, WI
