Happy Birthday Jan!
The Staff Family celebrated Jan's life on Saturday, October 29th at the El Encanto with about 200 of Jan's family and friends. We all enjoyed sharing stories and reminiscing about our time with Jan. I especially enjoyed Ben's slide show and the stories shared by the "kids" particularly Lacey's reflections and Cady's poem.
Here is Jan's poem to us...
Warm summer sun, balmy breezes,
Smell of ocean---Love's dream seizes!
Autumn colors and cooler nights,
Toasty sweaters, Halloween delights.
Family mem'ries at Thanksgiving,
Snowy evenings, alpine skiing.
Easter flowers and island grass,
More memories of the past.
How can I be the dieing one,
When I want the warm summer sun?
(Do you like it?  Love, Jan)
