Jan was a very special person. My mom worked with her at Arlans years ago and I am sure you don’t remember but I watched you a few times when you were little. Your mom sent me a message back in January when my brother passed away. I wish I could have gone over to see her but I didn’t make it. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

Jill - Jun 7, 2025

I miss you, Mom.
