Jan is definitely my fairy princess. Every time she came for massage sessions I adored all her beautiful rainbow colored outfits along with her positive and bright attitude. She was a light to others especially my mother and my children. She has a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone in need. You will be missed greatly by myself and my family.

The O’Learys and we were friends for many many years. We met Jan’s mom and dad. on a trip to Italy in 1971, and the Mansons introduced us to their “kids” soon after our return. Jan became a best friend. Her warmth, good will, optimism and just amazing personality were a constant source of pleasure.
The boys were born one by one, and i saw her complete devotion to them and their well being. She was always cooking up a storm for her family, desserts were the highlight! We got to be part of that too sometimes, attending dinner parties that were unsurpassed! Jan always made not one but two different desserts for Bob who she knew would devour them. I also remember when our first grandchild arrived that Jan brought not one, not two, but three wonderful outfits for Cameron (one with an alligator look.). We had so many good times it is hard to single any one out. I do remember how excited we all were when Pat was made the Chair of the Detroit Bar Association, and we all wore formal dress so proudly for this occasion.
We understood their move to Western Michigan to be closer to their family, but of course that meant we missed seeing them in more recent years except for occasional lunches. When Pat died last summer Jan and I had many conversation, and I felt very close to her again. I will very much miss this unique and wonderful woman.
