Dear Jimmy and family, we are so sorry to learn of the passing of Jan. We never were able to meet in person but I know that she was such a sweet person. I spoke with her at the time of the passing of my sister-in-law, Cathie. It was such an amazing opportunity for this part of our family to be united with my brother, Harvey’s children upon their learning of relatives in the MA area. Jimmy, your mother always spoke fondly of Jan. I know you will feel a tremendous loss but at least she is not suffering now. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Sincerely, Rosa & Charles Hyde
Dear Jimmy and family: We were saddened to hear of Jan’s passing. My mother Rosemary still has fond memories of the time she and my dad, Harvey, were guests in your home. They were so welcomed and said what a loving family yours was. She sends her condolences as well. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Your cousin, Phyllis Watkins Hunt
Jimmy and family, Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved spouse, mother and grandmother. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Love, Andy and Elizabeth Watkins
