I'll always remember Jan's good heart. I'll never forget the kindness she showed when my mother was sick. Then when she got sick I learned from her. Despite her situaiton, she was still caring and positive. A quick chat with Jan always left me inspired to be better. I'm so sorry for everyone's loss, especially Larry,Aunt Reg and family, and Ed and his family. You can all say that Jan left this Earth feeling loved and that's because of you.
