To Jann's family; I'm very sad to hear that Jann passed away. It sounds like she fought the good fight. If I was in charge of things I would say "That's not right, she's too young, too beautiful inside and out with a husband and son to care for! She can't leave at this time!" But, I'm not the one in charge as I have learned so many times before. I have so many memories. Jann touched my life in a positive way. I remember when Jann first moved to Kearney and we were in ballet together. Then, our friendship blossomed into "The Gang" made up of of Jann, Cathy, Dixie, Ann, and myself. I remember the first car she had named "Igore." I remember what a gifted artist she was and how smart and talented she was. And, the many times she and Cathy Peterson would hold me down and tickle me with unrelentless vigor, Jann was physically strong! I never could escape her grip! We had good times and challenging times, and though we were apart for many years her spirit was always present in my heart. You will be missed Jann. My deepest sympathy to your Mom, Brother's, Husband & Son, and extended family of relatives and friends. With love, Deb (Boom Boom)Beshore
