My condolences to Jan's family ---
May all of you feel the arms of God holding you with His peace and comfort, during this difficult time.
Jan and I have been friends since grade school at St. Pat's and shared many memories. Those memories are also shared with Sandy F. and Judy D. when we were together at Central Catholic HS. We all had many good times.
Eternal rest grant unto Jan O Lord and may perpetual light shine upon her.
Amen
Monte and Amy Winebrenner and family

Our heartfelt sympathies are with you Scott and Nancy, Lana and Mike, and especially Kelly and Tom, our very dearest friends, and your families. Jan was an exceptional lady! Quite colorful in ALL that she did and said. Though her last years were difficult, the memories will stay strong in all our hearts and minds and give you comfort. We find peace in knowing she is with her loved ones in heaven. May God bless you all.

Aunt Janet, She always did march to her own drummer and that is what made her as unique as she was. She was a favorite aunt and along with Dad and then Aunt Joan who was the other favorite aunt, they are all missed.
