Dear Coleman Family
I worked with Jana at the Travel Desk. We shared many walks during our lunch hour and many laughs. My favorite memory of Jana is seeing her astonished face when a group of us from the Travel Desk went to the airport with pots , pans and metal spoons to make lots of noise to see her and Mark off on their honeymoon. Good old days when you could still go to the gate even if you yourself were not traveling. I think she thought we were all mad and laughed after she got over the shock of the spectacle we made. She was one of a kind. So smart, talented and beautiful. Our condolences, we are so sorry for your loss .

Dear Family of Jana,
My condolences for your great loss. In your time of grief I'd like to share a recollection of time working with Jana many moons ago (around 1995). She was being courted by the dashing Mark Jarl, of whom she was so crazy about, and evidently he was too by the frequent flower deliveries to our office ;). Jana was a very bright & talented multi-tasking Travel Agent, understood the technical aspects better than anyone I've ever met, and was able to deliver what we both together coined 'quicker! faster! better!' We took our daily 'breaks' together to commiserate our current lives, and shared 9 months of pregnancy together (timed exactly). She was so ready to become a Mom, and shared her daily experiences leading up to this big day with everyone she knew. She shared much, loved much, and was a passionate, talented woman. Jana led the curve of beautiful, smart, energetic women of our core group, and had such a sharp/funny sense of humor. When Alex was born, I remember Jana nursing her at work and wanted nothing more than to just be with her babies. She nursed longer than I ever would try, she knew it was good for the baby. The last time I visited Jana, she was so proud to make a costume for Alex on a Halloween, (I don't recall the theme), but knew it would be designer level.
I hope you enjoy this little pic I hung onto.
Our family grieves for your loss.

Uncle Bud,Aunt Carla and cousins Joe and Jeff, I am so very sorry for your great loss. We are all to familiar with what you are experiencing and my heart breaks for you all. I wish we were closer so I could extend my sympathies in person. If any of us can assist you, please let us know. We had lost touch since we were kids playing at grandma & grandpa's house but never forgot the fun times. We had all talked, in the last few years, that it would be so nice to have a "cousin reunion" and catch up. Well, as usual, we have waited too long. Please , when time allows, get in touch. Once again, my love, thoughts, prayers and sympathies are with you all. Dianne
