Jan was an amazing person to learn from. Attorneys and judges would consult with her when they had questions re: family law. She knew it all. When she was on your side you were getting an abundance of knowledge.
Jan began her career a little late in life. She would often tell me how it took her 10 years to go through school while working full time. At one point someone told her "at this rate you'll be 40 before you get your degree". Her response was, "I'd rather be 40 with my degree than 40 without it". When i signed up this year to go back to school, all i could hear were her words in the back of my head. One thing i learned from my time working for her was that there was nothing that woman couldn't accomplish. I wanted to be like her; fearless and admired.
Rest in peace, Jan. I know you'll watch over Joel until you two are together again.
