Dear Dan and Family, I’m so sorry about Jan’s passing. It’s been very difficult for me to understand why this has happened to her. She was always kind to me, we had nice conversations together whenever I saw her. She loved her family, and especially her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren ! I will miss her smiling face and hugs.... My thoughts, prayers, to you all. Rest In Peace sweet Jan.... 🙏🏻💔 With Love, Sue White

Dan and the whole family, I came here in 1989 and started working at the high school kitchen and that's where I met Jan. We became great friends and did a lot of things together like traveling to Branson. When I left the school we drifted apart and I didn't see it talked to as often to which I am upset with myself about that. Just know I have always loved her and she holds a very special place in my heart. She always picked on George for being older and I know her birthday is coming up. Please let me know if I can do anything to help and know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers 🙏 love you

I hope the whole family finds the strength to make it through this. It hurts well beyond words to lose such a prominent person. Jan loved unconditionally, and she was the hug I needed more times than I can count. She believed in and supported her loved ones when they needed it most. This hurts badly, and I will forever wish I visited so much more often. I will never forget your influence and the impact you had on my life. Rest In Paradise Gma. If anyone deserves the finer things beyond here it's you!
