So sorry for your loss. She was a bright smile on the corner of Reynolds & Altus here in the Village. My grandchildren always loved her air hugs & kisses as we walked by. She will be missed.

Though my time knowing Jan was short, I am sad to see her go. However I am happy that she is free and in the very best place imaginable. Jan always had a way of making both workers and residents of Ridgemere smile, with both her beautiful, infectious smile and her loving spirit. She will be missed as a wife, mother, sister, and friend. Condolences go out to the family for this tremendous loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you
With love,
