To the Family of Jan Jupin
I express my deepest sympathy to you. I met Jan in 1994 when I first attended Jazzercise and thanks to Jan I am still attending. When I went through my battle with cancer in 2005, Jan was there for me with encouraging words. I will surely miss her.

I am so grateful that I knew Jan. I met her shortly after I moved to Little Rock and started Jazzercise in 1995. I worked as a class manager for a few years. What a bright spirt! God bless her friends and family. I am so sorry for your loss.

How I loved Jan. She was so helpful to me in so many ways...and an inspiration when I needed it so after my diagnosis. People who know me know who I am talking about when I say my cancer mentor.
It's so not right but there is nothing I can do about it.
Peace and love to all the family.

Jan was so caring and loved to see people enjoy what she enjoyed. It was so funny to watch her play air guitar while leading us in Jazzercise! I also loved hearing about the cute little kittens. I will truly miss her.

Kevin, my heart is very heavy for you and your family. I hope, though, you can find comfort in knowing she is no longer hurting. Jan, you are so loved by your Jazzercise family. You are a natural leader and we all learned so much from you.l You were strong and tender at the same time, an extraordinary combination. Your family must be so very proud. I would not be the person I am without your leadership.

To the family of Jan Jupin,
Jan was a light to everyone who knew her. She loved Jazzercise and Jazzercise loved her. It was easy going to class because she gave positive energy, motivation and her heart. She would sometimes share snippets about her family. It was apparent that she was so proud of you and loved you all immensely. Jan was an amazing example and I am a better person from knowing her.
My deepest sympathy,
Teresa Whitley

We were so sad to hear about Janet's passing. She was my fun beautiful blonde cousin and my friend at our family's cottage in Michigan. I haven't seen Janet since one of the recent Carraro family gatherings with her wonderful husband and her lovely blonde beauties. My wish for Kevin and the girls is that they are comforted by all the well wishes and the love that her family (even those of us who have not seen her for a long time) holds in their heart for her and you. Love Jo-El and Bob

I had the privilege of knowing Jan when I joined Jazzercize. She was such an inspiration for all those who deal with cancer in their lives. She was so encouraging to me as my baby granddaughter also was taking chemo and struggling with other health issues. God truly worked thru Jan to be a witness for His love and strength. Praying for all of her family as you remember Jan and celebrate her life on earth and know she now has her new healthy body. Thanks be to God.

I first learned about Jazzercise with Jan. I was in college many years ago. We had many conversations, and she was inspiring. I am so saddened by the news of her passing. My prayers are with the family.

I did not know Jan, but I do know Holly Brown, and I know that Holly's sweet heart is breaking right now. She has had such wonderful things to say about Jan, and she always looks forward to her time at Jazzercize and being with her Jazzercize family. My hope is that you will find strength in God to make it through this most difficult time.

We are so saddened by your death,but grateful to have known you for these almost 59 years.
You brought so much joy to all around you.You were the light of your Mother and Father life after living with three sons for a dozen years.In your parents later years you were the rock for your Father and a comforter for your Mother.
As for animals there was no limit of your patience and love for them.Your home was always open for the unwanted ones.
We will miss you so very much.However we are sure there will be many labors of love for you in heaven.
