Brenda and all the Flanders family: It was with much sadness that I read of your mothers passing. I have such fond memories of her - taking care of us at slumber parties in your back yard on Beryl Ave! I wish that I could have attended the service but I found out too late to arrange my schedule. I hope that you receive much peace, love and understanding from family and friends during this time of grief.
My most sincere condolences.

I was able to see Jan before I left Utah, for 6 months. Jan was always the life of every party. She makes any person she meets, a best friend. I'll miss Jan, but I'll never forget this talented, fun, and beautiful lady. Sincerely, Becky Zabriskie
