Jan was a mentor to me for the past 10 years. The study she started at our church literally saved my life. She has blessed so many people and her life is an example to me of how powerfully God can use his people. I will always be grateful for her.

Free from your body. Free from the mind that betrayed you. Free at last. Your heart's desire.

Jan was inspirational! She inspired me to see the good in others and to promote their potential by giving of my own resources to make it happen. She inspired me to take risks!
