I'm so sorry to hear that Jan has left here, but she is blessed to be in Heaven with no more pain and suffering. I wonder if she will happen on to my brother, Dan, who just entered Heaven on May 20. We sure miss them here. I'm praying for Jan's family at this difficult time.

I was a first year teacher right out of college, and didn't know many people at all. Jan invited me over to their house for dinner and to play cards. That was the beginning of a 31 year friendship that lasted over time and many miles. We could pick up the phone and talk like we just were together yesterday- Jan was like a dear sister who understood so much. I wanted to give my kidney to her, but couldn't, I wanted to take away her pain, but couldn't. God did . I will miss her greatly but Heaven is so much greater now. I'm praying for you all and so wish I could be there with you during this time. Please know that Jan was loved and I love you all very much!

In memory of my cousin and friend, Jan: I will miss her so much, our haircut and perm visits and our little "talks". It was always a welcoming visit, catching up on family and seeing her grandchildren right by her side. They loved their "Nana" dearly. You will always be close to my heart. Love to all the families and friends she had! God bless.
