It is with great sadness that I am writing this message today. Jan was not only family, but a great friend. I will miss her and our daily phone calls. Rest in peace.
Jan was a friend of my family since 1963 and of my two children since their births. All of us remember her humor, wisdom, and generosity of spirit,as well as her amazing ability to accept and show kindness to those whose opinions and philosophies were so different from her own. She was never condescending when she outfished me in the Snowies, never upset when kids spilled in her car, and never happier than with her many friends. We’ll always miss her.
