"She could tell you anything about anything. In later years Jan was a respected and prolific member of the Free Republic online community."
Can't tell you how many times I've read her posts and thought those very things.
She will be missed.
I just got my computer back this morning. This is the last thing I expected to read. A huge loss for us.
I believe she was the one that introduced me to the Free Republic Prayer Room for quiet reflection.
