Janie B, I miss you already. Kayda is so sad that she didn't get to come this summer and play outside with you and the dogs. I was hoping to come visit soon but with work it was hard. Missed you on facebook and then found out that you finally got your wings that you were wanting for a long time now. Jannie B Below, I will never forget our time at the VA Clinic and our times at the fire and the pups. You were a great friend and have been thru alot and now its time for you to shine in heaven. Please don't shit on my head like you promised. Rest in peace my dear friend. Jan you will be missed. Love you friend.
I wish I had known that Jan had passed but didn't find out until this Sunday. I hope that Tom and Jan's family can heal from this loss. My sympathies to all. Jan surely will be missed by all.
So sorry for your loss.
