I was in Stars Drill Team with Jan when we were young. I did not know her well as an adult but I did run into her from time to time and she always had a big smile on her face and was such a beautiful woman and so kind to everyone. I was shocked to hear about her passing and my thoughts and prayers go out to her family during this time of sorrow. She will definitively be missed.

ZEST
By definition….
“Hearty enjoyment, liveliness, gusto….animating spirit”
By her….So much more!
To give light to a room cloaked in darkness…
No substitute or shortage of sharp witted charm.
An irreplaceable and pleasantly provocative character…
Such influence for change, a blunt and compelling fire.
So imparted to fitness and strength….
Within lay an unparalleled drive.
We'll miss her in evanescent sorrow….
However, love her how you remember her.
FULL of ZEST!
God's Speed and we'll miss you Jan....

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. A poem I would like to share.
Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
