We will miss Jan! We will miss her sitting outside in her law chair soaking up the sun, seeing her working on her many projects, and most of all, interacting with our kids, calling the sweetheart, and bringing them extra-special Halloween treats! She will live on in our hearts and our memories!
Love, Emily, Jim, Cole, and Cora

Oh Jan I was truly happy to be able to visit with you and the family on Friday January 26th..... It was really nice to do that, and again on Sunday..... I'll always ave fond memories of you, and my favorite will always be yours and Randy's Wedding, now that was our family aveing fun at its best........ I'll never ever be to a Wedding that will be better than yours.......... I know as we got older and our families started to grow, we like most families didn't get many chances to see each other, but I knew you were a very strong lady, and I didn't need to worry much about you........ I'll miss and love you, and I'm just happy that you're no longer hurting with pain...... We will see each other again, and until that day, I know you're very close to the ones you loved in life everyday now......... Love Cousin Danny Meier.....

Dear Sweet Jan, We thank God for the blessing of times spent with you. We always had so much fun and so many laughs despite your many hardships. You were truely a loving, kind, hardworking person who was interested in others. You showed that interest in your thoughtfulness, and kindness always. Many times by taking not only your own, but others used clothing to the poor and needy even when you were in pain. Always helping others with any projects they may be doing. Phil and I will miss you, and I will miss our many night phone conversations sweetie. You are now in God's eternal peace and happiness. We will always love you and think of the good times. Love. Aunt Carol & Uncle Phil

Jan, you've always been more than a cousin to me. You were my friend. I am going to miss you so much! I'm going to miss our talks because you we always there for me. You knew how to pick me up from those demons inside. Even when you were so sick😭. I'm so sorry I couldn't fix you, if I could I would have.
I am at peace in knowing your by your Mom and my Mom June who adored you and you helped to care for when she was passing of cancer long ago. We will be together again and soon one day Heaven will have all of us .. maybe not soon but we will have those big family gatherings we used to have. Heaven will be lite up with all of us smiling!!
I love you my sweet cousin💗 Rip😘🙏 Missy
