Jane was such an important part of my teen years, she was the mom everyone should have. She was so calm and easy-going, agreeable and supportive. Whenever I would visit after she moved to NY she made me feel like family. I love and miss her and the Gerstheimer family.

Peggy & Pam,
Your relationship with your mom was the first glimpse I had that mothers and daughters could enjoy being with each other. I'll remember with pleasure her warmth, caring and laughter (mostly because your dad was so funny). Love, Linda
