I too knew Jane as Harriet. I remember her well from classes we had together and remember her as brilliant, sweet, and kind. Jeff, I ask God's peace and blessings upon you and Jane's family during this difficult time of grieving.

I knew Jane as Harriet. She was my best friend in Middle and High School. Our lives went in different directions after college, but I thought of her often, especially recently. I planned to do a people search this weekend to find where she was living and attempt to contact her. Strange how life happens. I will miss her deeply and will hold the fond memories of her closely in my heart. My deepest condolences to her family. May God hold you in the palm of his hand and ease your loss.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I knew Jane as Harriett. We met
in fourth grade and were close friends all through school. I remember
the two of us doing homework together that always ended in some kind of science experiment. When hurricaine Donna hit , Harriett and
her mother stayed at our house. We lived five houses down from them in Fox Hill.
I had just found Harriett again on the KHS page just a few months ago. I will miss her.

My deepest condolences to Jane's family. Jane (I knew her as Harriet when we were teenagers) was brilliant and had a quick wit and great sense of humor. She will be sorely missed.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am glad to have had the opportunity to work and travel with Jane-she always made me laugh, and usually at the most unexpected moment.

I am so sorry! I will always remember Janes smile and what a kind person she was. She was a hard worker and a good friend. I really enjoyed attending Church with her and serving as a elder along with Jane.I will miss her
