Sincere condolences to the family,very sorry to hear of the loss of our dear
Jan, a wonderful ,kind and peaceful soul. Will never forget her encouragement and caring ,we will dearly miss her...your friend Mona .

We are sorry to hear of Jeannette's passing.  She was a lovely lady with a smile and a kind word for everyone.
May Bob and all the family find some measure of comfort in the words of this poem:

The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand
The sun goes down, but gentle warmth
still lingers on the land
The music stops, and yet it echoes on
in sweet refrains...
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains.

Love, Doreen Richards-Van Velzer and Ken Van Velzer

I am so thankful that Aunt Jan was my Godmother because she was the best example of love and kindness.  She was truly an angel here on earth and made life better for everyone she met.  My deepest sympathies to her family.  May your beautiful memories of her bring you some comfort during this time.  She was the best and will be missed.  

Well done good & faithful servant, enter into the joy of thy Lord. Dear Jan, even though I will miss your kind spirit, your gentle wisdom, your words of encouragement, and your kind heart, I know you are in a better place. So glad you got to go to IRD in Montreal with your fellow KOPS & TOPS, & I was able to drive you in my van. The circle of light was such a beautiful sight. May your light shine bright in heaven. Praying for your family that they might find comfort in this difficult time.

I was very sorry to hear that Jan has passed.  What a shock!!  She was also so sincere and very kind.  Always had a smile.  I will surely miss her at my TOPS meetings.  Being a KOPS, we shared motivating stories with NEW KOPS.  Had many fun times at our PRD's in Montreal.  
Jan, REST in PEACE.  Your KOPS pal Susan
