I'm so sorry for the loss of Jan. I have been her stylist in the past for a good many years and always enjoyed her free sporty spirit. She always reminded me of my aunt very much and it comforted me to see her as though she were a part of my family. My prayers and condolences go out to all family affected by her loss.
