Jan was my very first "arranged" partner at the Hartford Bridge Club, and we hit it off immediately. She was cheerful, bright, had a wonderful sense of humor and it was a pleasure to sit across the table from her. She spoke to me of her family all the time, had a great love for each and everry one, and always looked forward to spending more time with her loved ones. I will always remember her arriving at the bridge club quite scratched up from a fall she had upon leaving home on her way to the bridge club, and telling me she did not stay home to take care of her injuries because she did not want me to be without a bridge partner that morning. We always huggged when we saw each other, I will miss that. She was a loving, caring person. It was a privilege to know her.

We remember Janet as a great friend of Ron's parents, Mary & Al Glassman. She was a wonderful lady, always with a smile and something nice to say about everyone. So sorry for your loss.

Most Sincerely,

Ron & Mary Ann Glassman & Family
