Dear McCallum kids, I was so sad to hear about Jan's passing. When we lived around the corner on Oleander our favorite stop was by your koi pond and talking to your mom, who was such a neat lady. She lit up many a block party with her face painting for our kids and other kids in the neighborhood. And she lit up many a Christmas party with her sense of humor and story telling. We wish your family all the best during this difficult time.

MCCallum kids so sorry for the loss of your mom. I have fond memories bringing my toddler twins to your parents house to see the fish and Jan was always there to come out and hang with us with a big smile on her face!
Thinking of you all at this time.
