Jan Margaret Files

I miss my friend - we were together since 3rd grade. We travelled Europe together. Hawaii. We camped. It´s so hard to lose someone who has been in your life nearly 50 yrs. Even though I was in Alaska, we always got together when I flew south. Never missing a beat. Fondest memories

Such sadness, hearing of Jan's passing. There are so many memories I have with her from our teenage years. She holds a soft place in my heart. I will always remember you, Jan....

Very sad to hear of Jan's passing. She had a beautiful smile and a beautiful heart. She will be missed....

Jan was a bright, caring, and smart woman who was like a sister to my late husband Tom. She was an amazing member of our teams to Moldova; fearless in sharing her serenity with the needy in their suffering. Blessings to Patrick, his uncles and cousins.

So close to the Files family for so long that there are days that we still reach to grasp how quickly the world can "blink" away part of your life. Jan made a lot of people happy for years and our hearts go out to Patrick. Teri and Lambert Ross

Jan will be missed by me. She was a huge influence in my life that I will cherish forever.

I have been friends with Jan for 46 years. We grew up and we grew a little old together....we turned some major life corners together, and her death leaves a huge hole in my life. But I know she is not gone - I see her in the flowers, feel her in the wind and I know she is with me - forever....my thoughts go out to Patrick and family who have had such a challenging year. Her wonderful way of giving will help all of us heal. We are all blessed to have had her in our life! I look forward...
