My condolences to the family. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Kathy & Family,
My Heart is broken for all of you!! Jan was the most caring and loving person I know!! Her Family was EVERYTHING to her. I met Jan back in 2003, I became her letter carrier on Blueberry Ln. Any day seeing her and talking with her was just the best!! Years later when she moved into Arlington Center I would still keep in contact with her, visiting her and meeting in the mail room most afternoon with a coffee or just to sitting and talking. Those afternoons with her I enjoyed more than anything!! Seeing her walking up and down Mass Ave each day, beeping and waving or stopping to just make sure she was doing ok!! The stories she would tell us about her days gone by or the updates on her family that she was just so Proud of!! She was a fire cracker, always on the go!! Over the past summer while
Delivering Mail in her new Assistant Living I would always see her sitting on the couch and was greeted by a Huge Hug!! I will miss you Jan!! You will always hold a Special Place in My Heart Forever!! Big Hugs!! Love You Always!! ❤
