I was saddened to hear the passing of my old friend. We were friends since high school and were inseparable in our party days, making our rounds at the Dak, Zoo and the Norwood. Jan always had a sparkle in her eyes for adventures and wasn't afraid to try something new. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family as you are now with the angels. - Posted by: Cynthia Hindmarsh (Friend) on: Oct 07, 2021
