Jane Kennedy's my Godmother and was always a very kind and generous person. Jane was a also a great teacher and introduced me to many great literary works. My family lived across the street from Jane when I was growing up and we shared many great times together!! She will be greatly missed.

Jane was a dear friend for most of my lifetime. Her Mother and Father were like grandparents to me. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, Mary Ann, Joe and Jane are again together in Heaven. "All things are passing. . .God only matters."

Jane was my wife's cousin. We were long-time friends and frequent visitors to Jane both at her home and, later, when she moved to Riderwood. She was an articulate, well-read, witty, stylish individual who was extremely generous and caring. She got to know our children and grandchildren over the years and always took pictures of them on her iPad and also always had a little gift for them during the visit. I'll especially miss her intelligent conversations, both in person and by phone. Jane was a lovely person who now is in peace with her sister and brother in heaven.

Jane was my second cousin what a wonderful person she was.
When I would visit Jane she would teach me something new. Now
She's with her Family in heaven.

Jane was a wonderful person that was always up to the challenge and a true professional. I am a big admirer of her spunk and positive attitude in life. I know she will be a shining light in Heaven.

I have been very blessed to have known and worked with Jane for many years. The world needs more like Jane Kennedy. May she rest in peace.

I will sorely miss Jane, a very great lady and one of my best friends. There is no one better. She will remain with me always.
