I've only known Jane for a short period of time through the knitting group at the Senior Center, but I was immediately drawn in by her warmth and sense of humor. I just got back from vacation to discover, today, that she is no longer with us. My sympathies to her family and many, many friends. She will be missed.

Your family is in my thoughts. Jane was a wonderful friend to my dad and mom. My mom recently returned home from hospital and I was wondering just last week when Jane might be stopping by. I didn't know she was ill and I'm very sorry to hear of her passing.

Jane was a second mother to me. I spent many of my younger years with the entire family. Robert was my best friend growing up. I miss you all and will always remember the special times spent with each and every one of you. Ernie, Doris, Judy, Karl, Kurt, and Patricia you had a incredible wife and mother. Thank you for including me in your lives, I will always remember the lobster dinners Jane would make for the whole clan. I grieve with my second family and will forever miss this dear friend.

I was fortunate to meet Jane because she was the dear friend of my mom, Ruth Masison. When we lost our mom earlier this year, I spoke with Jane and learned more about what a special and caring person she truly was, and I was grateful that she had been my mom's dear friend. My heart goes out to you all during this sad time, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
