I first met Jan when I attended Calvary Baptist Church. She was a very outgoing women and always welcomed me. I was a brand new Christian and the whole church thing and living a new life in Christ was very new to me. Jan was very active in starting a group called Single File. It was where single people could get together and do fun things like bowling, volley ball, playing cards, having picnics, etc. without alcohol or going to a bar. I loved it. We had so much fun and I met a lot of people. Jan shared the Lord with a lot of people in her life. God Bless her family. You are in my prayers.
