To Jan’s family,
As friends of Sid and Jenny, we have seen Jan several times thru the years. She was a great big sister to Sid. I will always think of her as joyful and energetic. She was very friendly and loved her family. I am so sorry for your loss and I hope that her love will comfort you. May her memory be eternal.

I didn't really know Jan but her younger sister Linda is my oldest friend from way back when I spent summers in Shelby growing up. I always loved the wonderful stores of all the Crawley kids and their beautiful elegant mother Julia.
My husband (Don Dillport) and I recently moved from NYC to Chapel Hill so I feel closer if not actually being there with you all in Shelby. Linda told me years ago how happy Jan was to be married to Joe and what a wonderful life they had together.
