Dearest Chipper,and family,
There are a few people in our lives that make a lasting impression on us, Jan was one of them. I considered her a friend. She always wore a smile, but was a tough little lady when she needed to be. We had many laughs together, especially at family gatherings. I will really miss her. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
As hard as it is to lose Jan, it was equally easy to love her once you met her. Chipper and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Life will be so different without Jan but I imagine she would expect you all to lead your best life.
