Kathy: I remember the first day I say you and Jan and your mom & dad. I was at the church (Capitol View Christian) and you all drove in the driveway. I was so excited to see you all, and Charlie and the kids and I had the honor of having you all at our house for dinner and a”sleep over” because your furniture hadn’t arrived😊. From that day on our lives were connected in so many ways. We pray for your peace as you go through this difficult time. Love, Sharon, Charlie and Family
Kathy – I will always remember the first time I saw you and Jan, and you mom and dad. I was working at the Church -(Capitol View) and you all drove into the church parking lot. I was so excited and we had the honor of having you all to our house for dinner and a “Sleepover”. Your furniture wasn’t due till the next day😊. Over the years we our lives have crossed in so many ways. We pray for you as you go through this difficult time❤️ Our love and sympathy to you and your family. Love, Sharon, Charlie, & family
Our fondest memories of visiting your family in Florida when we were kids. And when Jan lived with mom & Paul during her senior year. Love always, Don and Susan Fleck
All out love and prayers.
Jan will always have a very special place in our hearts! Our time with her at RCC made her family to us! We will always love her❤️
