Jane was married to my father for a short time but gave him more joy and happiness than I could have ever wished for him! She was an angel sent from above! I knew her for only a short time but can truly say that she touched my heart in a very special and profound way! I will miss her! She is with my Dad now though and I know that makes them both happy! Thanks Jane for loving my Dad, Chris
