Dear Bill and Family, I do not know many things with certainty. I know that Jan loved you all with a fierceness that was, at times, breath taking. I know she lived a full and joyful life. She had a gift of bring laughter to people. She was stubborn and prideful, but in the end she was usually right. Her devotion to her family should be remembered above all things. I wish each of you peace, love and light, always.
