When I first began working for Cass County, Jan and I had offices next to each other. She was always so warm and welcoming and always had a smile. So sorry to hear of her passing. She was a great lady. Sending prayers to her family!
We are so saddened to hear today of Jan’s passing. We haven’t been in contact this past couple of years. We have so many fond memories of our winter days in Harlingen, TX so many years ago now with Jan and Don and then several nights out for dinner with them as well back here in Fargo. She will be missed. Hugs to you all.
