Jan was one of the most caring, kind woman Ive ever been blessed by hugs and words of wisdom from. We met at Odyssey, at a time that was challenging as my mom had Lewydementia and was worsening, passing away shortly thereafter. Jan was welcoming, supportive, and a source of inspiration. Her smiles and hugs made the world right. Although time has passed and much of the Odyssey family have taken different paths, Jan always kept in touch, uplifting others despite her own challenges. And found love and happiness, what a blessing. She loved her family fiercely, and my heart goes out to you.
