  1. So many wonderful people we’ve lost this year. Jan is one of the first friends I made when I moved here. We worked on lots of causes together. She gave freely of her time and opened up her home to meet and work on causes. It’s hard to imagine going on with the Recycling Committee without Jan. And so many other things. I miss Jan’s smile, her laugh, her voice, her kindness, and her always wise counsel. T or C has lost someone very special.

  2. Jan was such an asset to the community. Her soul was gentle and kind and her laugh was contagious. I consider myself lucky to have known her. She will be forever missed.
