The passing of Jan Harman leaves a chasm in our hearts.
A person who carried herself with grace, love and kindness to the very end. An artist, a mum, a grandmother, a friend. Larger than life, Jan touched us all. It’ll take some time to believe she’s gone. She was so loved and so lovely to be around.
Just a few months ago Max and I were playing at our local pub and, as usual, Jan was dancing, singing, mixing it with the locals, chatting with everyone – lighting up the room the way she always did. I’ll miss her irreplaceable presence, her laugh, her smile, her sense of humour. And I’ll remember always Jan’s way of leading with empathy and generosity, whatever the situation, no matter how challenging.
And it has to be said, she was sooooo freekin’ cool.
What a terrible loss. What an awfully sad time. Life ain’t fair, that’s for sure. We weep now as we remember and honour a life so beautifully lived.
Farewell Jan. You will live on in our hearts for the rest of our lives.
Love, Marty.
