To Hal and Family, I'm so sorry to read of Jan's passing,she was a beautiful woman. I don't know any other way to offer my condolences other than this source. My father and Hal were first cousins and sadly it's been years since I was in contact with Hal. My dad was Richard Laden, his father and Hal's mother were siblings. I would love for him to know that someone from my family is thinking of him at this sad time and send love to all who loved Jan. ...

Jan at Vasona Park
Jan was a "once in a lifetime kind of friend." Her kindness, laughter and gentle ways were always a part of our friendship for more than
50 years! I will carry special thoughts of her in my heart and will always miss her.
