I enjoyed playing BUNCO with Jan these last 2 years. She helped us know and follow all the rules! One thing, I remember her telling all of us was that it takes usually 7 clicks on the remote to fast forward through all the commercials on programs DVR'd. We will truly miss her here in Three Lakes, that's for sure.

I worked with Jan at the MPD. She was a great teammate and her efforts and friendship with coworkers were valued immensely. With sympathy and blessings.

I first met Jan through TLWC. She always had that welcoming smile. We both had computer issues and we would try to solve each other’s dilemma without results. But we would always laugh about it and then give up, saying I will ask my kids. I was honored to get to know her, learn from her.(bunco) and share woman of the year with her.

Dean and Karla She was a great friend and had many great hours of friendship with her. I saw the special care you gave her in this battle of cancer. It was wonderful to see the love you gave her. She is now resting in peace. I hope you keep all the good memories you had with her. Diane and Dennis hoffman
