I knew Jan from Six Flags. She was so pretty but more importantly, she made people around her feel special. I thank God for putting her on earth.

I remember Jan from junior high school. She was the hostess for the first party I ever attended with fellow classmates. She has always been a fair remembrance in my memory.
