Jana & I met in Nashville, TN at the Association of Sewing & Design Professionals convention as roommates. We connected immediately and had some wonderful, deep, religious & sewing discussions. We roomed together again 2 years ago in Minneapolis. We talked many times for 1-2 hours at a time, sharing our love of sewing and designing and our families. Jana was a very caring person, loving her family and friends very deeply. I love you Jana, God brought us together once for a reason and I know you will be waiting for me when I get to Heaven, near a sewing machine I'm sure. She will be re-designing robes for the angels!
My prayers go out to Craig, Beau, her parents & sister. I will keep you in my prayers.

Jana was my best friend for many years and I really miss her. She always had a smile on her face and I loved her optimistic attitude, it was contagious. I know she is with the Lord now, but she has left a huge hole in my heart.

Craig, Beau, Boyd & Eva, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Lynell
