To Stuart and family, I will remember Jan for her lovely customer service when working at the
chemist and by her willingness to help collect for the NZ Heart Foundation last year when I was Regional co-ordinator. She was such a pleasure to work with. Always a cheery smile and hello when I saw her around town. Taken too soon. Deepest condolences to you and your family.
