I am very sorry to hear about Jane and send my condolences to her family. I grew up in Tallahassee off Magnolia on Devil's Dip, where Jane lived as well. She was like an "angel" at the other end of the street - always sweet, kind, and thoughtful. I know she must have been a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. Those of us from the Leon High School Class of 1965 will miss her.

I am so sorry to hear of Jane's passing. I remember Jane as a young girl when I worked for her father at Central Cleaners many years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

All of you have my sympathies for your loss. Even on this day, the thought of Jane makes me smile. Jane became my friend after I moved to Tallahassee, through school and church. She and I loved each other and she honored us by being part of our wedding party. As you know, that reflects a special kind of friendship, one which I will never forget. We would have loved you Jim, even if you had not been so very likeable, because you were perfect for Jane.

I met most of you at services for Harvell and Lois in Tallahassee. When I saw Jane, the feelings were like we had never been apart. How lucky we were...and how lucky you are to know that you are only temporarily apart, and will be together again one day to enjoy her smile and special laugh.

Love,
Richard and Glenda Todd
