I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Jan at DHS. Before she retired we served on the area Enhancement Team together. Jan was always knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. She talked often of her grandchildren. She will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy goes out to your family.

Janet was an inspiration for us all. A very strong Christian woman whom we will miss very much.

And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write This: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Blessed indeed," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for thier deeds follow them!"

Janet is resting from her labors.
