There are no valuable words to make better such a tragedy. Mrs. Bergeson lives on through her children and her influence is truly evident in their lives.

Dear Family
I,m sorry I did not get to know Jan has I would of like too. Jan and I work at the school she was working the night shift, She did come in on Monday then tuesday she stop in about 1:30 or so to let me know that her Aunt had spend the morning at Paw Paw hospital,I was so looking foreward to being able to work with her the next day she had ask if my grandson would help her move some things in the daycare room, he was happy to offer his help and with that note she said she had to get her Aunt home and make sure she would be okay. We laugh about some of the things that was going on in the school. She mention that she was always busy with somethings and her family. Jan had a smile that would light up your day, she would look for me on the days she pick up her grandchild from school, I didn,t have much time to talk and I would of like to have the time. I wanted you to know that what time we did have was a pleasent one and now she is with her God and watching us.
God Bless the Family and friends that Jan made over the years
she will be miss!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sitting her not knowing what to say as i have lost my best friend. I think of her family at this time not really knowing what to say other than i will miss her everyday as will you but find peace in knowing their are people who love you and are their when it is all done. Your mom was like a sister and I find it hard to believe she has gone. Just know she is with God and is really still with us as we go about our daily routine.

Janet will definitely be missed. She was the type of person who was always there for you. Years could go by without contact and yet you knew she would come at a moments notice. I hope knowing she was loved by so many will eventually help you thru this time. I will miss her.
