Jan was our bell choir director and music director at UPC many years ago. I just thought about her out of the blue last week, funny how people remain with you even if you haven't seen them in many years. She was very patient with us! I know she will be missed by many, God Bless her.

Gary, Brian, Bobby and family,
You have my deepest sympathies.
Praying you find God's peace soon.
The memories I have will be forever cherished.
I have no doubt Dad and Grandma were there to greet her as she came Home.

Jan, you have been one of my most cherished friends from kindergarten throughout our adult lives. I am so glad we got to "talk" ... we got to express our love for on another. You will always be in my heart, but I know you are now with the angels and playing the piano. I hope you've met up with Grandma Kreis, I know she'll be glad to see you, but will ask about her little "Rosemary". I love you & so thankful you've been a part of my life. You were so fortunate to have Gary by your side, he's a wonderful man & you had a wonderful marriage. I will see you again, when I get 'called' to heaven! Love you, Dear Girlfriend...photo of when we were 'sweet young things' for my wedding, you were Matron of Honor! "Memories" .....
