It is so hard to understand God's will in taking Jan so early. I have struggled to find some reasoning and I know this cannot compare to what the family has endured. She always had a smile and was quick to laugh and was so easy going. We are praying for all of you and know God is here to comfort you.

Wayne, You and Jan were a beautiful couple. I am sad that God's plan involved taking your precious wife so young and so suddenly. It is such a shock to all of the community. Have comfort in knowing that she had so many dear friends as well as a wonderful family, including your family. You are in our hearts and prayers. I have experienced the loss of loved ones in my family and I can tell you that you can survive and the Holy Spirit will be with you and carry you through this tragic time. You will never forget and rightly so; however,
it will get easier. Just trust in the Lord and know help is just a prayer away.

I am at a loss for words. My heart is broken for Mr & Mrs Huskey and to my best friend from school Gay Lynn for the loss of your daughter and sister. Although I have not seen you in some years it brings back all those memories of our childhood having sleep overs and going to church together at Scottland church. My heart is broken for all her family. I know this a difficult time. Please find comfort in the Lord and knowing Jan is now with our Lord and Saviour in Heaven with her angel wings. She is at peace. Take comfort in knowing one day you will meet again. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Patti Swanner-McNeal

So sorry for the loss of such a wonderful young lady teacher and all around caring person, who will truly be missed. Jesus has wrapped his arms around an angel and made a place for her in his army for another soldier in heaven on the line of enternal life, where there's pain no more but peace and joy forever. Sleep on sweet Jan take your well deserved rest we love you, but God will always love you best. Rest in peace and love. Once a DRAGON always a DRAGON even in heaven.

worked with Jan several years back and helped as her aide. she was always prepared and ready to work with her children. we had many laughs together. I loved her and was always happy to work with her. I send my love to Miriam whom I have known since we were children and to Gay whom I also love. My heart shares their heartache and my prayers and thoughts are with Wayne and the whole family.

Jan will be missed by several. She was very dedicated to her family and students. The last time I spoke with Jan she stated how much pain she was in and how thankful she was for having Wayne always by her side. My son had her as a teacher this year and loved every minute with her in class. She was truly one of a kind.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Wayne and the family.
