Mrs Hardcastle, though we never met I have  the honor of knowing your son and his amazing family.  You raised a fine son who has taken what he learned from you, and along with Sharon they have shared what he learned from you to his amazing children, or better said your legacy continues. 

God bless you and your loved ones  during this challenging time.

To Bob, Jody, Scott and all of the family, sincerest condolences.

Thank you for livestream since I can’t be there in person today.
Sending love to Jan’s wonderful family . You are in my prayers.

Bob, Jody, Scott and Family,
My heart ached when hearing of Jan's passing.  But then, the sound of her laughter, from our days together at Delta, came rushing to the forefront of my mind and filled my heart.  
I pray God will send you his peace and strength to endure these sorrowful days ahead until the time you are all reunited again.  Bob, she will be easy to find; she will be wearing an orange sweater.
God's Peace To You All

Bob and family
Our deepest sympathy to you and family on the loss of Jan.  We know the last few years have been a struggle for Jan and all the family when you have to cope with the effects of dementia. Seek comfort recalling all the wonderful memories.  May she rest in peace.

I am sharing in your sadness as you remember your Jan. My deepest condolences to her wonderful family.

My sincere condolences.   I grew up with Jan in St. Stephen's church in Baden, and Bob & Jan at Beaumont High.  Peace to the family.

To Bob and family, we send all our love to you at this time. Jan and I are so sad to here of Jan's passing.  We have known you both for 22 good years. Each time Jan and I talked with you both, it was like talking to our best friends. While we will always miss these times, Jan has been called home, and we will all meet again someday. Bob, you were so lucky to have found each other, the hard part is having to say goodbye at this time. At times like this we must remember the joy and love that Jan gave, because she entered our lives. May God give you peace at this time.

Wonderful lady … wonderful family!!! Prayers and blessings to you all!!!

Jan had a beautiful smile and a contagious laugh. She also had a special way of looking at you that made you feel like she knew what you were thinking in a loving way. She is already greatly missed. 

Sending love and prayers.

life she  lived, we mourn her passing.  You are all in our  thoughts

Dear Bob Jody and family. Words are inadequate to convey my sympathy for your loss of your precious wife/mother/grandmother. Jan was one of the kindest and sweetest ladies I’ve ever known. God blessed me and my family when I met her. May He bless and comfort you as only He can do. Much love 💕 to all (Valorie)

Bob my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. She is in heaven and in a beautiful place. You have been an amazing caregiver for Jan and took great care of her. You are an inspiration to us in our Men’s Group and have set an incredible example for all of us. The path ahead will be very difficult at times but she will always be with you in mind and spirit. I know you have the strength to move forward and most of all great support of family and friends. Thank you for all you do for us. Chuck

Bob you and your family are in our prayers. You and your family are blessed to have Jan in your lives. She is at home with God smiling down on you 🙏🙏🙏

Jan was a neighbor and my first friend and we attended Herzog Elementary and Beaumont High School together.  It was fun catching up at reunions and learning about her wonderful life and family.
Our loving sympathy and prayers to all of you.
