In Loving Memory of friend
When we think back about Jan one can only remember what a truly gift person she was
A nurse always willing to teach us, with true compassion for all her patients,
A religious Person always willing to pray for us during difficult times
A friend always willing to help us, with good advice
A shoulder to cry on
And although we are truly saddened by her passing, may you find comfort in that fact that she lived a good live and as she had said had no regrets
I know she would like us all to always remember her this way
May you find Peace knowing she is at peace in God's Hand.
