I think of Jan often, then up pops my email to remind me HOW very much you girls miss her. I'm missing Judy really bad since they moved to Fl. But at least Ill get to see her soon, as she is just next door to me in Fi. My heart aches for you! Blessing to you!

Billie and I had a nice time together picking out kitchen curtain fabric. Your absence was painful. Hope you like my choice of the colorful barnyard with chickens and roosters. Let me know what fabric you would like me to use next. Miss you, my friend. --NSH

Hey Jan, thanks for communicating with me via my cell phone. I was talking with our favorite vendor, the one you warned me not to use, and my cell phone made a sound. When I looked at the display, there was "speed dial -- Jan". Thanks for watching over me, my angel. Love you. Nance

I love you, my dear sister Jan. You come to my mind when I remember I cannot make chili soup or bean soup. And I never sat still long enough to learn how to bead those lovely angels. I am even more impressed with your strength and willpower. You are such a role model. Remember, I am listening for your voice saying 'Honey, I am here.'

RIP My dear cousin and friend! Billie I'm so glad she had you n the girls in her life! Jan was such an old sole, in a young persons body, she grew up hard but was the better for it! She was so strong and proud! But soft and sweet! She will be missed, but you guys all have another Angel looking over you! She was loved by many!

Having only met Jan briefly, I know that she was a wonderful person based on the love shown her by her sisters. I hope that Jan's family's grief will be soothed by wonderful memories of the time and love shared with Jan. Peace be with you all.
