I first met Jan when I was 13 yrs old when Clarkie and I became best mates at FDMC - recollections of sneaking over the fence during lunch time to the Clarke home conveniently located on the FDMC boundy and Julian Place for a cigarette or three ( Mild 10's ) under the house so Jan and Ross wouldnt smell the smoke when they got home ! She knew what was going on and Ross didn't care haha ! As a boarder at FDMC Jan Ross and the family became my family and I want to thank Jan for caring for me like a second Mum - thanks Jan , I love you. Donna and I have known Jan since we we married near on 40 years ago - Jan always supported us along the way - thanks Jan. Our kind thoughts, comforts and prayers go out to all the family at this sad time of loss. May the Angels lead you into paradise, may the Martyrs receive you at your coming, and take you to Jerusalem, the holy city. May the choir of angels receive you, and may you with the once poor Lazarus, have rest eternal.RIP Jan Amen.

Aunty Jan.. this world is going to be alot quieter and less fun now that you have gone. Your zest for life and all things active ( family, golf, bowls, parties, dancing..) was legendary, along with your gift for giving back to all those who came into your sphere. We will cherish all our memories we have of the good times together. Back united with Uncle Ross. Special thoughts and love to the Norris, Clarke and Gray families All our love Lee Blair Matt and Emma xx
