My Angel Mrs. Jan, God called and his Angel answered. Mrs. Jan, I will truly miss our talks, prayers and your LOVE FOR THE LORD.

When Jan would talk to me on the phone she would always ask how Ronnie was and tell him hello and she loved him he would always tell her back "when you com'im see us". She would always say I'll see you soon. He loved Jan.

I only knew Jan for 4 months but she made me feel like part of the family. Her love for the Lord was contagious and overflowed to all those she came in contact with. The carpool line at school will never be the same! She always had a smile on her face and joy in her heart, and of course Baxter in the passenger seat. She told us every morning and afternoon how much she appreciated all of us and that she loved us. I loved her right back! Praying for all of the family.

Jan was a loving, caring friend and neighbor. She loved Jesus and was proud to share that with others. Her life was a testament of Jesus command for us to love God with all our heart, soul and mind; and second, to love others (your neighbor) as you love yourself. We (Callaway) neighbors will miss her boisterous greetings to each of us when she saw us, her friendly waves and her delight of life. I'll See you again my friend.

There are no words adequate enough to describe what you meant to me and my family. You loved my children and grandchildren well at church and Awanas. And they loved you right back. Your love of the Lord was always evident. I have enjoyed serving with you in many church events and at the Wee School. You always had a hug and smile for everyone. Your love for your family was immense and it was a joy to behold! The carpool line at school will never be the same without you and Baxter rolling thru greeting us with love. I am so thankful to have known you! Debi Power

Aunt Jan! Your love for the Lord was such an inspiration to me and to anyone who knew you! Life wasn't always easy, but strength that only comes from the Lord was what you had and it always showed! We are all comforted knowing that in death your witnessing and testimony will live on! You loved your family with all you had! Always just a phone call away! Until we meet again, I love you Aunt Jan!
