My dear distant cousin, we both descended from Pourewa, our Tainui ancestor. Your contact with my father enabled me to discover our Maori ancestry and share it with hundreds of other people. All are enriched by this discovery. Thank you for playing a pivotal role in the search. Blessings on your family and especially the one who carries the name Pourewa.

I have fond memories of working with Jan when we did voluntary work at the Salvation Army.
I loved her intellect and style. Jan was a lovely lady. Sending Deepest Sympathy to Jan's family
