Gone but not forgotten
Jan left behind two daughters, Carmel Ann and Annette Marie;
loving parents, Charlotte (D 2000) and Howard (D 1984) and sister, Gwen.
In our last moments together, I watched as she finished her makeup before going to work. The inquisitive seven year old I was asked, "What is that (red stuff)?" Jan answered that it was rouge. Not long after that conversation, Jan joined our sister, Carole Ann, who passed in 1951 of polio.

Trips to the Crystal Lake beach, a motorcycle ride and other times with my sister are faded memories. We all missed so many moments with you and still wish, fifty years later, you were here.
Your Sis, Gwen
