Dear Alan, out of the blue I was thinking of Jan and started reviewing our emails over the years. Such a woman of action and joy was revealed as we went back and forth, from our World Federalist Association meetings, Darby Creek and other environmental activities, prayer requests, or interfaith and Native American wisdom shares. I saved so many that were worthy of remembrance. Instead of immediately reaching out to renew correspondence, I went to Facebook... and found her obituary. My breath was taken away. I listened to her video. And reviewed more emails, I contacted a mutual acquaintence. I said a prayer. I joined CCL. I wanted you to know I have recited prayers to lift her wings as she continues to ascend and transcend. May you find her peace around you.

Jan was such a good person. It was so nice to see her when she came to the democratic meeting at our house a few weeks ago in May.
We will miss her so much.
