I'm was so sorry to hear of Jan's death. I was in The New Horizons Band with her for several years, and we talked a lot during our break times. She had such a good sense of humor and a positive attitude. Besides being very talented musically, she was a joy to be around. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to her family and friends.
