Jan loved her family and was loved by them and we all had so many fun times together.  She had a wonderful sense of humor. Her nickname was “Smiley”.  She was also kind, generous and cute as a button.  We are going to miss her terribly. 

Jan loved walking the boardwalk at Hampton Beach throughout the year.  She loved music, attending concerts and movies, and following our Boston sports teams and especially enjoyed visiting Arenas and Ball Parks around the country.
