So very sorry. Jane will be missed. Jane encouraged each of us and always made the challenges more fun because we all knew who we had to beat.

Jane was a special Curves friend. Those of us in the early morning crowd made sure we knew which days she would be opening ("Jane days") because we knew she'd be there early so we would make sure to be a little earlier, too. She was always upbeat and encouraging and her smiles will be greatly missed.
