Condolences
The family of Janice Peters has received the following condolences.
John & I were saddened to hear that Jan passed. I worked side by side with Jan at Northwest Dental Group for several years & we became great friends. Then we brought our husbands into the mix and had so many great times with her & Chuck! We went to their place in Waterville once & I can still remember our trip over there, so much fun laughing & carrying on with them! Such fun friends. We lost touch after that unfortunately, because John & I moved to Peoria, AZ. Jan & Chuck will be forever in our hearts, and never forget all the laughs & fun we had with them. RIP Jan!???
To Terri, Matt and families.. not enough words to be able to say of what a wonderful person Jan was. So many memories through the years with Chuck and Jan. From being neighbors in Rochester and Waterville, to boating, dancing, Farkle to restaurant searching. So glad you are now with the love of your life. Until we meet again. Love you forever and eternity!
Be at Peace! Mike and Cindi Tiedtke
