Jan was always this ray of sunshine that wanted to include you in something creative. She enjoyed painting, jewelry making, decorating for the holidays and she loved people joining her in the adventure. She loved baking, and was a perfectionist in how she made her home so lovely. We spurred each other on in our art endeavors, especially our paintings of the dogs that we tackled. Hers for Mark and mine for our son Matt. She would look for our Mn. Sports team flag hanging outside our home and know we were back in Estero for the season, always ready with a big hug. I will miss her big welcome back, her lovely smile and her positive attitude about life. I will miss a very dear friend. Our heartfelt sympathies to Jack, son Mark and her whole family. Love, Louise and Dave Gartzke
