Jan and I met almost 40 years ago when she came to work at the City of Carlsbad. Your beloved wife and mother, then a sweet young girl worked with my mother Virginia Schuldt in the Personell Department. I remember Jan so quiet and kind. She was a good friend to my mother for many years. I am sure she is receiving a warm greeting and the reward she deserves up in heaven. May you take comfort in knowing this and that Jan was a wonderful influence to so many people.
