I will always miss Jan she was a true friend , I miss her emails and her smile. She always kept me in the loop as to what was happening in Franklinton and never , never ,missed holidays and more. Bruce and Jan took me on a photo shoot and she focused on a statue created by holocaust survivor Alfred Tibor 95 years of age, in honor of Arthur Boke first known African American born in Franklinton 1803 and Sarah Starling Sullivant wife of Lucas Sullivant. Jan took the photo on my profile cover standing by " CELEBRATION OF LIFE " www.arthurboke.com Rest in peace my friend , Bruce and family will always be here for you all .

My deepest sympathy to the Warner family. I'm sitting here thinking how much I will miss sending her emails, and getting emails back from her. Sis was one super sweet lady who will be truly missed by everyone that knew her.

Bruce and family,
please accept my sympathies on Jan's passing. She was a very kind and gentle spirit.
Jan was always content to stand back
out of the limelight when she gave so much of herself in various projects and played such important roles in events of her community.
A woman of many talents. I will surely miss her sweet smile.
