My deepest sympathies Lynn, to you and your entire family. Watching the very touching memorial video made me smile at how much you and your mother look alike and at all of the wonderful memories you shared as a family.

So sadden to hear of Jan's passing. We sang together at UD in the 50"s,
in St. Charles in the 70's-90's and taught in Kettering.
Heaven will have a new addition to the celestial choir,
My condolences to Sid and the family.

Sid, Lynn, Terry, & David and families, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
We lived next to you on Meadowcroft, what fun years as our children grew up together!
Jan was such a nice person to know, and great neighbor.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I will always remember Jan as a loyal choir member at St. Charles. She was music librarian who always had the individual folders ready for each rehearsal. She will be missed.
