I worked with Jan years ago in the state treasury. I will always remember Jan as a devoted mother and dedicated worker. My prayers are for her release from human pain to unimaginable joy as she is welcomed into the arms of Jesus. My sympathies go to her loving son, grandchildren, family, and friends.
