Jan was such a beautiful soul here on the forums. Condolences to her husband, family, and friends.
Rest in paradise Jan..

I'm not sure exactly where this comment belongs, and Jim Allen, feel free to move it to wherever it should be. I just viewed the service for our anniedc (Jan Waddell) and it was awesome, I was not surprised by the number of people actually there. I'm sure My Darling Jan was impressed by the number of people that she has effected. That Lady will be greatly missed. R.I.P. My Darling, R.I.P.

Sad to see. Rest in Paradise Annie Angel. 🧡🙏

My beloved Janno is gone.
I don't have words for this.
My words are neither the point nor the matter. I'll leave it to Andy Velez (of sainted memory) who in times like this would point to the classics;
--- Quote ---I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground. So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind: Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.
Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you. Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust. A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew, A formula, a phrase remains,—but the best is lost.
The answers quick and keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love,— They are gone. They are gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled Is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know. But I do not approve. More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave. I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned. --- End quote ---

I'll see you soon.
