Susan, John, Matthew and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Mothers/Grandmothers are very special, and nothing can replace them. As with the loss of my own mother eleven years ago , I think of her everyday with only the good memories (and not her illness). I wish the same for you and the family...blessings, peace and all the happy memories.

Jane was such a delight. I always enjoyed seeing her when she dropped by, and I always had time in a busy office to stop and chat. We talked about all things opera many times.
