In addition, she is survived my many extended family members, close friends, and dear neighbors whom Jan loved very much.
The family would like to say a special thank you to U.T. Hospice and the nurses, social workers, chaplain and others who provided assistance to Jan in her struggles as well as to the Mobile Meals program.

She was very high spirited and always had a smile and a "hey, how are you doing!" Miss Jan was a nice lady.

In addition to being a cousin, I used to baby sit Jan and Retta when they were children. They were both beautiful girls. I saw Jan several years ago and she told me about her battle with cancer. It breaks my heart to see that this evil disease has taken another life. Gerald and I are currently out of the country and will not return in time for the service. We send peace and love to Retta, LaVerne, and the entire family.
