Chris, Jenna, and Kaeli, what an awesome Mom you had! She was such an incredibly strong person and her faith in Jesus was unwavering as we saw and heard from the beautiful service. You have an amazing legacy in both your Mom and Dad, and we are thankful for that. Our hearts hurt for and with you, and our prayers will continue for you as we think you.

I had the privilege of knowing Jan through working at the SRSS. I was at the memorial service today and was not surprised by the beauty of the service. Although the service was about Jesus, as she requested, it was also a reflection of Jan. It’s who she was. A woman who testified to the strength found in Jesus in difficult times. She was the real deal and I was privileged to have known her. I didn’t personally know Jan’s kids and grandkids (but met them and some of the grandkids) she talked about you all with such affection. You were her world! I believe you will find that the same Jesus that upheld your Mom, will also uphold you all!

I'm tuning in via video from Swift Current, Sk. Janice, as I grew up knowing her, attended Braeside Church in Winnipeg. We shared many good times attending youth group.
To the family & friends of Jan.
May God sustain & keep you in His care as He turns your tears of sorrow into precious memories.

Jan Bartel/Martens was a dear friend of my childhood (on Edison Avenue) and youth (we attended the same church and high school). Jan was, is and forever will be a beautiful soul, so real and so present without ever being intrusive or insistent on her own way. She was my friend because I knew she cared for me as a person, and I loved Jan. I remember when she met Jerry (he was working in Winnipeg and they met at Braeside), and Jerry too was a beautiful soul, full of laughter and generosity. He was head over heals in love, and who could blame him? He was a lucky guy (and so was she). I will never forget Jan and Jerry, may they rest in peace eternal. Travis

Dearest Kaeli, I never knew your mom, but you look so much like her and I can only imagine she was as sweet as you are. Our deepest condolences to you and your family at this time.
Also to Wendy, I remember well the years you taught our boys. And how you fondly spoke of your family. Our condolences to you as well.

To Chris, Jenna, Kaeli and families and the entire Bartel family,
I am so sorry for all of you in the passing of Jan. In the earlier years when Jan and Jerry were just married and before that, my late husband Randy and myself shared many fun times with them both. I was honored to be in their wedding party. Jan had such a steadfast faith that marveled me in many ways. I was fortunate to see her before she was hospitalized and we had a great visit. I was grateful I got to see her and say goodbye while she was in the hospital. What a powerful legacy she has left behind for all of you! She was blessed to have all of you in her life and I know how much she loved and valued the importance of family. My thoughts will be with all of you as you begin this journey of grief together and I know you as well as many others will miss Jan deeply. Love, Michele Kehler
