My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who loved and cared for Jan. Jan was a great teacher who cared deeply for her students and those of us privileged to work with her. She leaves us a legacy to care for everyone, include those who may be sitting on the side, and to fill each other up with positive words and gestures.
