Thanks to everyone for your memories and wishes. Even at ninety my mom was so full of joy, and truly young at heart. We all loved her so very much. Thanks for sharing and being a part of her life.

Jan was always full of fun and a delight to be with. She would come to see Uncle Clayton's horses at our place and I thought she was so pretty and full of life. May you all feel blessed to have had her in your life.

I remember Uncle Clayton bringing Jan out to our acreage to see the race horses and she always loved being there. She always was a delight and brought joy to all. In later years we would get together every so often and recall the good old days. I'm happy she had a good life and a nice large family. May you all feel blessed to have had her in your life.
