We are deeply grateful for the kindness and care that Jan showed as our father was dying of cancer. My father wanted to die at home, and my mother was doing the best she could to care for him. It was tough on her. Jan stepped in and provided the respite and companionship that both my parents needed in those difficult days. My father was usually rather moody, but Jan was able to get him talking, taking his thoughts off his difficulties. She was a compassionate lady, and the world needs more of her kindness.

May god bless you all right now. Jan was a good friend to so many and brought humor, class and grace to all she did. Always enjoyed spending time with her and my Mother when visiting in SF as they shared their memories and fun times over the years. The world has lost a great gal!
