My sincere condolences to Jane's family. I just found out that she had passed. She rented her twinplex to my Mom, Mary Jane Roth-Coulter, who passed in July 2009. Jane was always so kind and thoughtful to my Mom, always upbeat and smiling! I will never forget that. A very sweet lady.

Aunt Jane had the very special gift of being able to make other people feel good about themselves. The tone of her voice, the look in her eyes, and the way she treated people all made it clear she cared for others first. It is an uncommon gift but she certainly used it to the fullest. She made those around her better and happier. Thank you for your kindness over the years.
