We were saddened to learn of Jane's passing. She was a precious and humble soul who was an inspiration to those who knew her. I sure will miss seeing her at the Thanksgiving Service at Hulls Chapel this year. May you be comforted and blessed to know that she is in a much better place and having the time of her life as one of the southern gospel songs says, Glenna & Wayne Jones

I am very saddened by the death of Jane.....I have nothing but fond memories of her and the many times we were together. She was always so friendly and kind. I pray God gives you all strength to handle this, and peace in knowing that Jane is forever in the realm of our Lord and Savior...Jesus Christ. Love you all.....Connie (Garst) Gilley
