Jan was one of the finest and warmest persons we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I cannot remember a time when she didn't greet us with a big smile and hug. Jan's dedication to family was extraordinary as evidenced by the great children she and Mike raised. We miss her very much and so will everyone who had the honor of knowing her.

Our sweet friend Jan was such an inspiration to all of us blessed to have her in our lives. She always had a kind word and encouraged our walk with the Lord, no matter what was going on in our lives. Her family meant everything to her and we will be praying for y'all, as you continue on this earthly journey without her physical presence. May you be comforted knowing you will see her again some day, never to be parted again. Much love to y'all...

Condolences to all Jan's family and friends and especially to the "Ladies of the Library." A lovely lady to all who came in contact with her and such a fine image of a "Librarian" for Mountain View. I will miss her presence in the Library.
