Who knew our beloved friend would leave us this soon? When I learned earlier of her serious illness I thought there would be plenty of time to catch up, to laugh and gossip and remember all the wonderful times we had at Graceland and now this beautiful woman is rejoicing in another realm and only memories remain here. To her faithful daughters and her son, I send my sincere sympathy and know they have sweet memories of her last days to treasure forever. May God bless you in keeping her memories alive for grandchildren, knowing she would have loved sharing life with them. I am going to miss her final goodbye (unless there is an abrupt stop in this cough I would not expose anyone to) but my love goes out to you all. Jan will be remembered forever. She was a wonderful friend.
