Janet Kovarik
Andy and family, we just saw this news and are so sorry for your huge loss. Your mom was a wonderful woman and we have very fond memories of her. We're thinking of you all. Maggie & Matt
Dear Jim and family, Additional co-workers and I were sharing thoughts via e-mail and to a person felt privileged to have worked with Janet. Her problem solving skills, efficiency and professionalism were greatly appreciated. When Janet did in-take you knew that a family received all appropriate services and if an issue (child abuse, for example) arose and you had to go back to Janet for consultation she remembered that family and applied those problem solving skills (usually taking the ball and running with it!). On a personal level , her astute observations were extremely helpful!
Molly, I was surprised to see your mom's obituary in the paper (though, I knew she had Cancer) since I saw her last at the PCI Open House and she seemed to be her old self. Full of life and always ready for a conversation. She is a great lady and I always enjoyed talking with her since we shared education stories. In case you don't recognize my name, I am Briana Gavin's mom. I told her your mom passed and I know she wanted to get ahold of you. Please take care and peace to you and your family~
Jim & family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please except my condolences. My prayers are with you all.
Jim, Molly and family, I feel so fortunate to have known and spent time with Janet. She was such a delight. I loved her wit, her sense of humor, and telling it like it is. She amazed me as she journeyed with her illness with such grace and commitment to staying as health as she could be. Our dinner outings were always a joy, good food, good conversations and laughter. As a yoga teacher I was grateful to have Janet as a student. Her desire to learn and understand more about the why and how of what we were doing helped keep me focused and growing as a teacher. I will dearly miss her smile...Molly great picture of your mom. Love and Light to you and your family, Brenda
Dear Jim. I realize that it’s been 11 years since you lost Janet but she’s been on my mind recently. Gary had told us of her passing but I just recently looked up her obit. I wanted to reach out to you to let you know what fond memories Dan and I have of being your friends all those years ago. Janet was a remarkable and energetic person. The memories of her shared in her condolences sound like the old Janet I remember from our time together. Dan and I are well and recently moved from Southern Illinois back to our hometown of Sullivan Ill. Prayers and thoughts with you, old friend Susie Selock
Jim and family, I am sorry for your loss.
