To Jane's family,
I can't put into words the sadness I feel. But I'm sure grief for you goes oceans beyond that. I will always remember her kindness and thoughtfulness. When no one else thought of me - Janie always did. She was a treasure. She never let me stay down, she was always right there when you needed help, a kind word and encouragement. I will remember her the rest of my life with fondness and gratitude for her friendship.

To Jane's family,
I cannot express the grief I have over the loss of my dear friend, but it cannot, I'm sure, compare with yours. Janie was a real treasure. No one could be a better friend and no one could be missed more. I will always remember how she cheered me, never let me down, never let stay down, her thoughtfulness...very special ady. She's gone forever now and I know she'll be in my thoughts daily, but I just can't believe I will never be able to speak to her again.
