Jan Knode, that remarkable woman we all love so much, moved on to her next assignment today when God called her home this morning. This blog is a place to celebrate our memories of her, to celebrate her life and loves, and to preserve the memory of her being here. God lent her to us on April 9, 1941 and took her home again on August 3, 2011 in the 71st year of her life. If you would like to share a memory as a post, rather than a comment, email it to me at issan@comcast.net

Our Meeting
The first time I met Jan was at an Academy benefit for Rainbow History. I was one of the performers so I was in drag. Jan and I chatted during the benefit and then went our separate ways. Then our friend Carl was in the hospital and we both ended up visiting at the same time. Of course I wasn't in drag then. As we talked Jan kept starring at me with a puzzled look on her face. Finally, I said Danielle Devereaux. See laughed and said now I know who you are. When I started dating Mark, Jan and I became quick friends. She was a delight to be around and a blessing in everyone's life. I will miss her very much, but will always have her with me in my heart and memory. Although I am sad for myself and those of us left here without her, I am extremely happy that she has moved on to the blessings God has promised.
