Sending heartfelt condolences and hugs to David and Joe as they must say goodbye to a wonderful Wife and Mother. Jan's happy personality greeted friends and strangers with a smile and genuine connection. Jan Labiak entered my life when she signed up for hammered dulcimer lessons. She was a dedicated and talented student, and soon became part of our local Musical Hammers, where she performed in local festivals and monthly in our Central Park for Dulcimer Night. We all loved her, and enjoyed her fine participation, her cheerfulness and enthusiasm. Though her medical needs finally eliminated her winter visits to Florida, we continued our friendship. She left wonderful memories for all of us who knew her. Her spirit lives on. Sally Anderson, Florida
