The last time I spent with my Aunt Jan was in Savannah at her apartment. I remember it being such a light time with a lot of laughter. Aunt Jan had a great smile and an infectious laugh! I will always remember her laugh and the strong spirit that she was. Godspeed!

What a great picture of Aunt Janet! Brings back a flood of memories. We will miss her smiles and sense of humor. Our prayers are with Susan and Julia who gave all in caring and overseeing their mom's final years. Aunt Jan is in a better place and giving my dad (her brother) a big hug for the times they had together. Grace and I missed our chance to visit her one last time and will always remember our adventures together which brings a smile to my face. Love to all of our family!
