Jan's Story
UNFORTUNITY JAN PASSED AWAY NOV 24/2007-AFTER A LONG 9 YEAR BATTLE WITH RHUMITOID ARTHRITIS. -WE MARRIED IN 1959 AND HAD TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN--. STEVE AND JULIE FIRMAND-- I BECAME FAMILIAR WITH MANY OF HER CLASSMATES
SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT AND TALENTED ON THE PIANO AND COULD PLAY AS GOOD AS LIBERACHI
BECAUSE I WAS OLDER THAN JAN AND THE FACT THAT MOST OF MY CLASSMATES HAVE PASSED ON.
I SORT OF INHERITED HER CLASS OF 57- THE SONG BY THE OAK RIDGE BOYS,"" THE CLASS OF 57 HAD ITS DREAMS""- WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT REFLEXION OF HER TIME ON EARTH..MANY TIMES WE WALKED THE OLIO CEMETERY AND SHE WOULD POINT OUT MAN...Expand for more
Y OF HER FRIENDS AND RELATIVES THAT ARE BURRIED THERE-. I STILL VISIT HER A FEW TIMES A MONTH WHEN I BRING MY BREAKFAST AND REFLECT ON THE WONDERFUL LIFE WE SHARED. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER JAN.
