John Crotty wrote a sympathy message

“This sweet lady will not be forgotten. My Momma's baby sister always welcomed us into her home with hugs and laughter to shower on her niece and nephews from Nebraska. She always had time to hear stories of our lives. On one memorable trip to Independence, 'Auntie Jan' surprised her 'itty bitty buddy,' as she liked to call me, with a puppy to take home! Little Sammy was so cute, but Mom was not one bit pleased as she DID NOT like dogs. He lived outside. :) Love & miss you, Auntie Jan!”
