My greatest memories of Jan is the times that I came home. Jan always watched me. I passed the first grade staying with her. I played football staying with her. We used to go fishing. I loved staying with her. Coming back home will never be the same again. I hope that y'all will forgive us for not being there. But know that we love y'all and we are forever torn apart over Jan leaving us. Love you Val and your in our prayers
