Jan Berenstain died today :\'( I not only lived with Mother Bear, Father Bear, Brother Bear and Sister Bear throughout my childhood in books. But I got to relive them through reading those same books to my children and watching the PBS cartoon. I am saddened...

My kiddo is sad about this. He loves those books, and I think they've taught him a lot of important lessons.

I am also really sad to hear this. I had so many of those books when I was little.

Yes, I was sorta flooded with grief... I am not sure why, because I know none of those books are going anywhere. She will be forever remembered.

Like I said, we have her books and they will probably never die. 8) What a legacy.

Yep. We also used to read them at my grandma's house. She had a bunch, just for us grandkids. Good times. :)

Always wanted to live in a tree house like theirs. Somehow seemed roomy. ;D

Cedar Point Amusement Park (In Northern Ohio - Sandusky) used to have an exhibit/attraction Berenstain Bears Country (still active in 1998 brochure). Don't know if it's still there or not.

I wonder if she and dear departed Stan ever did a children's book about dealing with loss. It would certainly come in handy at a time like this! RIP Jan, I know you and Stan are hibernating in the Lord's arms now, together again at last.
Your Pal,
Doc
