Journal entry by Elea Kass —
Hi everyone! ❤️
Thank you for sharing all of the touching messages. It is beautiful how Jan positively impacted and influenced many different aspects of our lives.
We needed some time to process and reorient ourselves in this new version of life. And though our hearts are still heavy, we are ready to come together and celebrate!
We will hold Jan's Celebration of Life on Sunday, May 14th, the day before her birthday. Mondays are inconvenient and celebrating on a day before or after one's actual birthday is in classic Jan fashion: where birthdays are more like weeks!
We will be hosting the celebration at our home in Orono, Maine, and we will also hold a virtual celebration for those that live further away or that would prefer this format. All details are below:
In-Person:
Date: Sunday, May 14, 2023
Location: 15 Cromwell Drive, Orono ME 04473
Time: 2-5pm EST
Virtual:
Date: Sunday, May 14, 2023
Location: https://maine.zoom.us/j/2078660017
Meeting ID: 2078660017
Time: 10-11:30am EST
Both gatherings will be very informal. Feel free to drop in whenever is convenient for you. For our in-person celebration, we will provide refreshments consisting of Jan's favorite snacks and treats! 😉
We encourage you to embody Jan's zest for life by dressing in comfortable clothes that are brightly colored, have fun patterns, and/or are unconventional styles!
Looking forward to seeing you all soon! 🥳
