CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE:

It's hard to go and leave your teenage children behind knowing that you will not be

there for their coming milestones.  Jan's daughter is 18 years of age and Jan battled

cancer for 11 years before succumbing. This means that Lisa can't really remember her

Mother when she was cancer free. Lisa says that every Christmas she can remember, she

wondered if this would be the last one she would have her Mother there with her.

What a sad childhood that  must have been for Lisa and her brothers.

Let's not sweat the small stuff in our life. Get over it, get on with it, and most of all enjoy

what you have now….. it's good to have dreams but not at the expense of the here and now.

Make the most of what you have got! Don't wait until tomorrow or sometime in the dim 

distant future to do the things that are important to you - do them NOW and enjoy your

life.

Jan was a wonderful role model for us all. She never complained and got on with her life

in the most satisfying and fulfilling way. I feel privileged to have known her - as I'm sure

everyone did.

See you  on the floor sometime….  Jan
