My deepest sympathies to your family. Jan will be missed by all that knew her as she had a classic "A+" personality. It was simply her nature to go out of her way to recognize you, greet you with a smile and make you feel good about yourself. Jan was a wonderful person and I'm truly saddened by her passing. May God bless you all.
