Blessings, Jan, as you continue your journey! You were a valued friend to many of us at First Church, taking an active part in so many different ways in the life of the congregation. Your continual positive outlook and sense of humor was a gift to us all. We love you, Jan!

Jan so warmly and compassionately reached out to me as a new member of First Church. What a wise and wonderful woman! I enjoyed our many correspondences. She made me feel like a true friend. My best wishes and sympathies to her loving family.

My condolences to Jan's family. I have known Jan since I was a kid during that time she did Oddfellows. She was an amazing person then and we reunited when I came to work for Heritage Commons. She had remembered me from the days of Oddfellows. She was so talented and enjoyed having fun. Always smiling and having only positive things to say. The world truly has lost a great person. Not seeing her at Heritage is going to be hard but I know she is at ease. No more pain and suffering. Jan I love you and will miss you so much!! Say hello to Edie as I know she is glad to have her best friend back beside her!! Til we meet again....may you rest in peace eternal peace!!

I had the pleasure of knowing Jan professionally and the blessing of knowing her personally. She was a wonderful, caring, special person. She faced many challenges but you would never know it. She was always upbeat caring and giving. She gave her utmost at Church, at her job, personally, and to her friends. I will miss her, as I miss Edie, they were quite a duo. Jan was God's gift, to those of us blessed to know her.
