"Jan, was a long time friend. I am 1 in a group of 5 that would meet annually for a reunion. Jan, was a great example to us all how bravely she fought with courage this devestating cancer. She never complained she was always cheerful and had a positive attitude. She fully accepted this illness with her faith, family and friends. It was a privilege to have known her and we'll all miss and cherish our memories of our dear friend Jan. "
