As prospective mother-in-laws go I definately hit the jackpot with Jan! She was, and always will be, an inspiration to me in terms of her positivity, optimism, enthusiasm and energy levels (she was fitter than me at double my age, even several years after her diagnosis). My respect for Jan only increased with the way she dealt with her diagnosis: I can't imagine anyone else dealing with such a horrible disease without complaint, showing huge courage and continuing to see each day as a gift. Family was the most important thing to Jan. She was always at the centre of any family gathering, always thinking of ways to entertain the children.  It saddens me that she won't be around to spend time with Theo as he gets older but I'm so glad that she got to spend time with him for the first year of his life, and that he got to meet his grandma. We'll be sure to make sure he knows what an amazing woman she was. Rest in peace Jan xx

Farewell lovely sister, I shall miss you so much. Thank you for the special times we have had together through the years- the great holidays and picnics. August and New Year gatherings with all the family. Watching the little ones grow up. Looking after our Mum as she got older and of course our special walks together over the years. It is impossible to say in a few sentences what you have meant to me, you have been so very special. Thank you for the many many memories you have left. With love from your sister x

We hope that you find this tribute to Janet a place of comfort, support and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
