Please know that we are thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. I know your mom loved you all unconditionally and I'm sure she knew she was loved too. Matthew 5:4 4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.”
I am so sorry to hear that Aunt Jan died. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I will sure miss her letters and Christmas cards. She was always so kind and she will be missed

Our hearts are so heavy and sad for you and for us. Jan was part of the entire Van bunch. She just fit! We will miss her at every family gathering. She was just one of those people you didn't need to "get to know". She was so open and full of love that the first time she met someone she cared about them. Her short journey being ill was bravely fought. We are all so glad we got to see her in July, even then, you could tell she felt lousy but she asked about us first, she sincerely want to know that we were doing well before we could even get a word in to ask how she felt and what was next for her. She was so happy that she got to see everyone at home that weekend. What an example of God's love! St. Frances de Sales said, "There is nothing as strong as tenderness and nothing as tender as true strength." Jan, even in her eternal life, is true strength!
All our love and prayers for each of you.
Marty, Tammy and family”
Your family is in my prayers and heart. You have been since day one. Much love and peace to you all. Every time I got to spend with your Momma she was the kindess, sweetest, and tenderhearted person anyone would want to know. She was a great person. She raised great children and had a wonderful family!
Many sympathies to you and yours. Love always,
Tina Britt”
