To Steve and the Jackson family. We are so sorry for your loss of Jan. We have so many wonderful memories from years of friendship, church at Ridgeview and the many ski trips and adventures we took while there.
May God bless you all with the comfort that we will see Jan again.
My heart is heavy hearing of & reading her obituary this date. She was very special to me & our family. I remember the many Summers she & her sister Pat spent at our grandparents & our house before they moved to our area from KS.
She was fun to be around, always smiling, she will be missed. May she now rest in peace. Cousin June Ball
