Dennis, Lisa, my deepest sympathies at this sad time to all of you and your family. I remember, fondly some great times in the neighborhood with one memory of Jan standing at the end of your driveway at your house in the park, hollering at us kids to be careful as we took off on a bike ride. She was a caring woman, I know she will be missed. Prayers and blessings as you navigate through the days ahead. Cherie Dinsmore-Brown.
I am so sorry to hear of Jan’s passing. I worked with Jan for a number of years. We had some good laughs and I enjoyed working with her!!
Lisa, my deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family on the loss of your mother.
Donnie worked with my Uncle Hershel at Safeway May she rest in heaven
