Hi Beth I am sad to hear about your Mum. In the days when you, Lisa, etc were Sacred Heart schoolgirls I remember Jan always dressed immaculately, spoke beautifully and always had a lovely crinkly smile that welcomed me into your lovely home. Cherish the good and happy memories. Love Cheryl Talbot

Jason, Warren, Beth & families .... I'm sad to read of Jan's passing. I first met Jan & Rob at McKechnie's where I worked with your Dad for 3.5yrs (early 70's). Family was all they both talked about. Your Mum & I have caught up more recently several times, she was always smiling, telling me all about the extended family, the family functions, weddings etc. She will leave a huge hole in your hearts, but rest assured you will never forget her. May she now rest up with a wine, laugh and tell many stories x ..... RIP Jan

Dear Beth, Jase, Warwick and families. I'm so sorry to hear that Jan has passed. Spending time at Jan and Rob's homes is a central part of so many of my teenage memories. Always welcoming, always a hug and supportive of plans, schemes and dreams. I enjoyed coffee with Jan at the very end of last year - she was in remarkable form at 85yo and I tip my hat to a life well lived. All my love, Liz

So sorry to hear of Jans passing ,
Many happy hours were spent with Jan and Rob and you two boys , at Bell block in your young days , babysitting for them and just hanging out , Such an awesome couple ,
Loosing Rob so young was devastating for Jan but she never lost her smile and her bubbly nature ,
She will be surely missed , lots of love to you all ,
