Jane was my "go to the movies" buddy, my Winthrop Arms, Uno and 99 restaurant eating companion, my chauffeur to Fordham & Starrett events, my email and telephone pal, my caring friend. I will miss you.

My sympathy is extended to Jane's family on her sudden passing. Jane was a kind and considerate woman. Jane took pride in the work she performed not only at Fordham & Starrett but at any job she was given to do. She cared deeply about other people and I can honestly say I don't beleive I ever heard her say a negative word about anyone or anything. It was a pleasure working with Jane during my tenure at F&S. I will remember her friendship always.

Jane was part of Fordham & Starrett, a Boston law firm that was more like a family. We will all miss you Jane. I know you are in good hands now. Sue Cummings
