My Heart.. Thoughts and prayers are with each of you.. My dearest Jan.. RIP my friend.. Play a hand with our buddy Fishy!!
Bless you Jan – you will so be missed amongst us in the pinochle world. I had to laugh at the car you loved to drive as that car had “corncob” written all over it! We all had so much fun in the pinochle days and I have many memories about you and Jim.
To the family and Jim – I am so sorry for the pain you are feeling. I never had the honor to meet her in person, but I feel that I do. God Bless.
So sorry to hear of Jan's death. We shared many card games and conversations. Prayers and condolences to her family.
