Praying for Don, Amy, Dwight and families. What address should be used for those wanting to send cards? Memorial gifts?
Marilyn Houston says:
Jan was a loving sister-in-law. She loved to laugh even when she was struggling with her health. She would comment about a health issue that was very unpleasant, then laugh, tell us more bad news and laugh again. She was a faithful servant of the Lord and carried it out with humor. And she was a good cook! We love you, Jan🩷 It won’t be long before we see you again💓
Charles Heller says:
Jan will be greatly missed. She was a devoted servant of Jesus, and her life was an example for
all Christians to follow.
