Jan was always a joyful addition attending our daily morning mass in the chapel when her health allowed her to be there. I always got a wink from her as I moved forward in the line for communion and passed her sitting on an aisle seat. Smiling and engaged in current news at morning coffee on Tuesdays after mass, she was such a special person who will be missed.
