We have so many great memories spending time and traveling with Dick and Jan. She loved to travel first class and we were lucky enough to go along for the ride. My favorite memory has to be three weeks in Italy. We still remember every city and the lovely hotels where we stayed. Jans fun loving personality and sense of humor made each day an adventure. We are so saddened by her passing, she will be missed. Sincerely Bill and Dorothy Rini

One of the best people I have ever known. Loved her so. No one could rank higher than Jan. My sincere, deepest condolences to you & your family.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our neighbor and friend here in Lake Conroe Texas. Jan had a wicked sense of humor and lit up a room when she walked in. She taught us to not take ourselves too seriously and to enjoy every moment. We will greatly miss our friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dick and the entire family. Bruce and Connie Pettijohn
