I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I met Jan as my first born, Zach, which was delivered by her husband Dr. Fred Cycholl, started school at Peppermint Treehouse . Jan and her husband was such a large part of our pull together community and ran the hospital and nursing homes with the help of so many other great doctor's from the good ole hospital on 7th St. Where so many of the last of the baby Boomers were delivered. Your family will never be forgotten. You and Fred R.I.P. together now. ❤️
