Another Angel has accepted her wings and we all had to see her go but we know she is resting so comfortable in God's arms today. My auntie had the most contagious smile and laugh and those eyeglasses we as children knew she was serious when she looked over the top of those glasses. I'm the oldest niece and I just wanted to say to my cousin's tammy, anthony, and Jeffrey I love you so much and I hope as each day goes by that God comforts you in a way unimaginable. How deep is condolences I send with much love .

To Tammy and the rest of the family: I understand that no words can truly express the pain you are feeling. My heartfelt prayers are with you. May the Lord grant you the strength you need to make it through. Jan and I first met when we were in 7th or 8th grade, and she became my first very best friend. We referred to each other as "Bestie". As I say goodby to my dear friend, Bestie take your greatly earned rest, and until we meet again, know that you will always be loved, remembered and missed.
