I am so saddened to learn of this dear friend's passing. Most of my high school memories include Jan. Fortunately, we kept in touch through the years with Christmas and birthday cards and an occasional phone call. So sorry the much talked about get together this summer never happened. I will miss hearing that wonderful laugh!

I'm shocked to hear about Jan's passing. I was very close to her in high school. Just the most bubbly personality. I went with her to the 50th reunion and had great time. Rest In Peace my good friend!

Art and I are so saddened at the loss of our good friend. I have known Jan for over 60 years, we still kept in touch at least twice a year for luncheons. I will miss that smile and all of our stories but I am so thankful for all of the memories.
