Oh my cousin, you were such a kind person. I am going to miss talking about our moms and how similar our situations taking of them were. They were sisters and best friends. You will get to see your parents and your sister now. Rest In Peace.

My heart is saddened so by the loss of Jan.
I was young when she started dating my big brother. She became a big part of our family and I came to love her as a sister. So many fond memories of her as a young woman and mother.
Your time on this earth is done. Rest easy in the arms of our Lord and Savior.
Love you Sister.

Oh my dear sister in-love....how I already miss you. Words can not express my love or my heartbreak. I know you are with the Lord and that is comforting. See you again.
