Worked for several years with Jan at Manatee Elementary School. She was loved by all the kids she treated in the clinic. She was a good friend to me. She will be missed. My sympathy to her family. May God give you peace as you share precious memories.

Sincere condolences to family and friends. May your treasured memories and support from family and friends sustain you The prophet Isaiah said that God would swallow up death . The Psalmist promised that the righteous would possess the earth forever Psalms 37:29. Imagine a time when we can enjoy our loved ones without the fear of ever losing them again. Something we all yearn for.
