Oh Jane,
You were such a wise, sweet, caring woman. Truly one of the best people I’ve met. Your smile, so soft and genuine. Your personality, purely out of this world. You brought enjoyment into the lives of everyone in your presence and will truly be missed.
Sending an abundance of love and healing energy to you and those who love you!
Love you Mrs.Jane,

I used to love seeing Jane at Fran’s for breakfast. She was always so cheerful and kind to everyone that she brightened everyone’s day. May God bless her family as they grieve this great loss until they see her again.
Jane was always a breath of fresh air – smiling, joking, positive, upbeat, and kind. At this Thanksgiving time, it is nice to appreciate (and want to emulate) that kind of attitude and give thanks that I had a chance to know and work with Jane and her daughters. My thoughts are with Diane and Claudia today as you have lost a special lady.
Claudia and Diane. Your mother,my aunt, was always a loving,kind lady. Although it’s been years since Claire,my wife, and I last lived nearby we cherish her.
Dear Family, thank you for sharing Jane with me and my family. She was such a dear soul, a joy to be with. Jane, you were kind, loving, and appreciative to the very last of your days, the grand lady we should all try to be. (Except if anyone got between you and your drumstick.)
Know that you are, were, and will always be, loved and sorely missed.. You’ve gone home to rest but we’ll meet again.
Diane and Family, Thinking of you and your Family as you say Good-bye to your precious Mother. What a glorious old age. As the holidays approach you will continue to celebrate her life by the memories you have made through out the years.
Russ and Kathy
Claudia and family, my condolences and deepest sympathy
My dear friend.
Jane, how much I love you and will always remember our good times. You shine so bright and ALWAYS lit up a room. Your voice, you smile, your kindness with always instill a trait in my heart! You are one of my favorite people I felt I could talk to. And am so blessed you may finally be able to go forth and see your other loved ones. Love you and your family. Bless them all and may your journey into transcendence be glorious!
With love,
