❤My second mom❤
I met Jan, when her daughter and I became best friends in 8th grade. Over the years, Jan and Joey, both became like second parents to me. I'd spend all of my free time over there. Jan was not only loving and caring, she was the rock of the family. I'm sorry I could not see you in your last few days, but I know your at peace now. I know you were greated with open arms of family, friends and lets not for get loved pets as well! We miss you now that youe phycail body is gone but you will love pn in our heart's forever!
From Cherie Myler
I know Jan will be missed dearly by her family and friends everyday. She is watching over her loved one's now and is at peace and free of pain. She will be missed.
From Erin Clark
I've started typing and erased what I had several times now because I know I wouldn’t be able to find the right words to fully express how much I loved you and the emptiness that I have now that you're gone.
I don't think I can fully wrap my head around how quickly our lives were turned upside down. Or that phone call when we found out and I knew life wouldn’t be the same.
It blows my mind that last year, right now, we all went to Kayla's wedding together. You were fine. Now you aren't here anymore and all I can do is think about is how much I would give to have you here with us and how unfair that such a good person has to be taken away in the most painful of ways.
Being an only child and losing my last parent is probably the most heartbreaking thing I have gone through yet, but it has made me take a step back and appreciate my little family. So many of us take small moments for granted and miss many opportunities by not being in the present but instead stuck thinking about the past or worrying about the future. I like to bounce around in both the past and future and know how guilty I am of this. I’m not going to be the same now that you’re gone, but I’m going to try every day to make the best of it and focus on the positives that I have, and always look for more ways to bring happiness into our lives.
I love you more than you'll ever know.

Grandma was the best grandma I ever had, she was helpful, fun, and Christmas and birthdays were the best because of her. I loved staying at her house and she was a good cook and always had good vibes. She always laughed at my jokes Love Jaxon
From Anthony Clark
Jan I can't believe how quickly you were taken from us. It was only 7 months ago when we saw you on Christmas, just like always you were waiting anxiously for the moment you saw our headlights to pull in your driveway. I knew how significant seeing your grand babies was to you. It breaks my heart how they won't have any new memories with you, but I know you're watching over all of us. You were taken too soon from us and in such a horrible way, it is not fair that such a great human being was taken is such a way. But I know you're not hurting anymore. Jan you were an honest, determinedly strong woman who when faced with hardships would overcome them and not fret in the process. My love and respect for you has no limits. If I could have one wish it would be for more time with you. Forever your memory will live on with me and the people whos lives you touched. I love you and miss you dearly. I'll see you on the other side.
Love,
Anthony
From Michael Walsh
Best baby sister ever will miss and always love you.
