Special prayer for Jana, all her family and great friends. I pray the Lord watchs over you as you say good bye to Jana. I know she is with the Lord watching over all of you, with her great smile. So pleased you have come to her special send off, as her soul makes one last trip to her place in Heaven. This is not a good-bye, just a ‘See you later’ for when we all meet again. Jana was a special lady and I am glad I was able to spend some great moments with her. Rest in Peace – Jana A friend, Lucia

Jana – thank you for making life’s journey easier by being part of my life. I am going miss you greatly!!! Jay DeHart
When I was announced as her new supervisor at BCBS, Jana came to introduce herself and we’ve been friends ever since. How will we get along without her here with us?
We love you all, Johnny, Sarah, Wyatt and Taylor Burnside
Angel, With love and prayers to you and your family! Suzanne Meyers
Angel, I am so very sorry for your loss. Sending prayers, love, and hugs to you and your family.
Dale, Angel and Sara – my sincere condolences on your loss! Our lives have been forever changed. How blessed to have had such a wonderful person in our lives. Jana, thanks for being such a great friend. Love you and you will be missed!
Dale and Jana gave me a place to live when I had nowhere else because I was a scoundrel of a teenager. We were really growing up together. Jana gave me a warm place in her heart and I treasure that always. I love you Jana.
I cannot list just one memory or thought of Jana as I have had several throughout the many years. She was just not my girlfriend’s mom, she was a special confidant, friend, listener, advice giver, criticizer, truth teller and great hugger! She was always available when I needed her. She has raised two beautiful, intelligent girls – who whether they realize it or not have great qualities just like her! She was a wonderful wife to Dale and complimented him perfectly! She will be missed by all and she was loved by all that had contact with her. Rest in Peace Jana – Dale, Sara and Angel have a beautiful angel watching over them.
Thinking about all of you. I hope Dale can recover quickly. He still has his family that needs him. Prayers to all. I am so sorry this happened.
Angel, I was so very sorry to hear about your mom. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Nan
Angel & sara Words cannot express how sad my heart is for your family! Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers! Extra ones for your dad also! Praying he recovers quickly and you all can begin to heal! She is Gone You can shed tears that she is gone, Or you can smile because she lived, You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her Or you can be full of the love that you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she is gone Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on, You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
That is lovely. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you Lisa…

Dear Dale, Angel, Sara and all of Jana’s loved ones – We are thinking of you all during this difficult time and our thoughts and prayers are with you. I’ve known Jana for a long time and I will miss her so very much. I found this poem that I thought had some words that sounded like something she might say to all of us if she could right now. ‘When Tomorrow Starts Without Me’ When tomorrow starts without me, And I’m not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn’t cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In Heaven far above, And that I’d have to leave behind All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye, For all my life, I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die. I had so much to live for, So much yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a while, I’d say goodbye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. So when tomorrow starts without me, Don’t think we’re far apart, For every time you think of me, I’m right here, in your heart.
Thank You Carole…
Aunt Jana!!! What can I say but I loved everytime that we would get to see you. We may have not seen each other but maybe once a year but it was like we had just seen each other the day before and we would laugh and cut up like always. It was so great to spend time with you at Brittany’s Graduation and talking to you earlier the day before you were took away. I will treasure that always! I Love you always!! Angel, Sara, and Uncle Dale….. We shall continue to meet at least once a year or more and stay close. I love you guys!!
Thinking and praying for you, Sara and Angel. You’re mom was a very sweet and amazing person who raised some super sweet and amazing girls! Our family loves you guys so much! My thoughts are with you today and in the coming days.
