My love and prayers to you Jan and Van, that the Lord will surround you with great grace. I miss seeing your smiling faces and kind hearts when we'd cross paths eating out before we moved. Thinking of you fondly and prayers for your family, Michelle Pearson
A long life with many blessings.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Peace and prayers for you Jan, Van, and Sarabeth.
Jan, Van, and Sara Beth, so sorry for your loss. May peace be with you.
Love and prayers to you and your family.
Our sincere sympathy to you Jan, Van, Sara Beth. Think of you often and praying for you during the loss of your mom. Love to you, Bob and Mary Kay
Jan, my deepest sympathies go out to you and your family during this time of loss. I can still hear your mom and my aunt, Lucille McCaleb, talking, sharing stories and laughing about all the fun times the two couples shared over many years. It was fun to hear all their stories and their laugher. They helped and comforted each other over the years after the loss of J.W. and John and I hope it is a comfort to know they had lots of good times and now they are all together again.
Jan and all the family. So sorry to hear about Mrs. Dodson. She and Whitey were special people and we are blessed to have them a part of our life during our time in Harrison when I was manager of the Arkansas Power and Light Company office. Our family also made a few of those camping trips to Bull Shoals with them and other AP&L families back in the 70's. Special memories. Mrs. Dodson will be missed but her memories will last forever. We have comfort in knowing she is now in a better place. May God bless and keep you during this time of sorrow.
I'm so sorry for your loss, your mom was a dear sweet lady and I cared for her lots, thoughts and prayers for you Jan and all your family.
