Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time...I came across this while thinking about Jane and it seemed so much like her...I hope this can bring you peace in remembering her loving touch...

I HAVE A PLACE IN HEAVEN

Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears...
It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.
My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know...
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.

We were privileged to enjoy Jane Whisnant's friendship in high school and looked forward to visiting and reminiscing at our wonderful class reunions over the years. She will surely be remembered as a very special and beautiful person. Our condolences to Chuck and the family at this sad time. Evelyn and Claude Talley

To my dear Uncle Chuck, Mark, and Kevin, You and those you love are in our prayers. Oh, how we love Aunt Jane's laugh and love of life. Her love for others was and continues to be so evident as well as her gift of story telling. We will miss her dearly, but oh, what a gloriously happy celebration it must have been when she stepped into heaven with Laura, Mom and Dad, Grandmom and Granddad and all the others who have gone ahead. What a grand and comforting hope we have that soon we will all be reunited. Soon and very soon. With love to you all,

Michael and Sue Anne

Chuck, Mark & Kevin

Jane was an outstanding person. She had a world of friends. She set a high example for us to try and follow. She will be greatly missed. I want you to know that you are in our prayers as you try to adjust to a new way of life without her. Just wish there were something I could do or say that would help during these days.

Sincerely,

Norman D. Graham

Uncle Kotchie, Mark and Kevin - I am sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of Aunt Jane and she will be missed. She always had a joyful smile and a genuine interest in sharing a conversation. I still hold as one of my treasures a cameo pendant that she gave me as a small child.. Love to you all!
