Jan's beautiful eulogy captures her amazing spirit and wonderful life so perfectly. What an impact she had on the Kelsay family. She was such a dear friend to Berwyn beginning from the early days on Riverdale Ave to Berwyn's illness. Connie, Bill Kelsay and I we were so grateful when Jan swept in with her humor and picked us all up from our stunned grieving state when Berwyn got sick. I feel so lucky to have grown up with Mrs. B in my life- Christmas bonfires, summer restaurants, hideous perms, gut wrenching laughs and feel blessed that my two daughter's and my sister's daughters also received some of that special love. Who can forget Mrs. B treating Emma and Matea to the most unhealthy, candy filled breakfast known to mankind, forever sealing their love for Mrs B. As I grow older, I think of the example Jan set with the many kindnesses and joy she shared not only with our family but all those who were lucky to cross her path. Her spirit lives on every time we share it forward.
We all are thinking of Dave, Linda, Ted, Jill and the entire family
Love from Kim, Darwin, Emma and Matea
