Find memories from dating Jan during Christmas 1973, the most memorable Christmas I ever had. My love for Jan has been never ending. We could never find get on the same page, but a bond of love was surely there between us from the beginning, in 1973, to the hours long phone calls in the end that did not materialize into a meeting. Ours is a tragic love story worthy of print, and, as truth is stranger than fiction, cinematic. Closure has not come in these past ten years, and, will probably never come. I love you Jan.

I was so sorry to learn of her passing she was my good friend in high school we had a lot of goofy summer adventures down in her parents beach camper, going to self defense classes, basketball. She had an infectious laugh and a wonderful grin. I am a better person from knowing her in my young life. Andi I am so sorry for your loss

Hope you are having fun in heaven!!! Love you, Lisa Bishoff

I thought of her today after so many years and decided to look her up….only to find this heartbreaking news! What a kind, loving soul who touched so many lives with her positive outlook and attitude. Even though it has been 23 years since I saw her last, I think of her often and it always brings a smile to my face! The world was a better place with Jan in it. What a sad day….GREG GORR (Hollywood FL)

It is a sad time for everyone who knew Jan. She and I first met in 1979 and she became one of my longest and best friendships. I knew Jan through high and low points – on other words – living life; and always with a laugh or smile.
In her professional life she enabled me to produce some of my best moments. All of this will forever be missed, but her smiles will live on.

Our cousin Mark just called me about Jan’s sudden death. We got to catchup with her while she was in Cary. I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds like she inherited Uncle Bill’s and Grandpa Luttrell’s sense of humor. Take care, Barbara Blue Carruthers and Marsha Blue Hoskins

We enjoyed getting to know Jan initially through our small business networking group, and then on a more personal basis. Jan introduced us to Turducken one Thanksgiving and I know we’ll never forget that holiday. 🙂 The lady sure knew how to laugh and have fun, and when we think of her, we will do so with a smile. She will most assuredly be missed in our corner of the world.
To her sisters, Andi & Denise: We are so very sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during this time.
