My heart goes out to Christine, Paula and Stephanie. I have many fond memories of Mrs. Jan. She always had an open door for you. She always offered lots of love and laughter and even offered you a place to rest your head at night. I'll forever remember you and our many trips to Krystals after midnight! You were such a cool mom! It is my prayer that her daughters lean on God as well as one another in the many difficult days ahead. I pray that you are comforted, and that you feel him near and dear to you all. Rest in peace sweet lady! Love you!

This is so hard to get that Ms. Jan is not with us anymore. She had a big heart and a sharp tongue to boot. She would always bend an ear for folks she cared for that needed a person to talk too. I played on her dart team for many years and enjoyed ever night we had with Ms.Jan . R.I.P Jan we will love and miss you. Thanks for always being there and being a friend.
