Dear Family, just want you to know the short time I knew Jan was truly a blessing to my life and so many parishioners at St. Bernard's. We so enjoyed and admired the many crocheted articles she gave to us. We were always so impressed with the number of articles so accomplished in just a short time. Know she will always be remembered and prayed for as you all are now. God's blessings and Our Love and Prayers, ( I am having a Mass said for her with the Cappuchins), Priscilla Moorhouse, parish nurse
