As a family friend, I recognize the stability that ‘Grandma Jane’ provided her family. She was always there, at every family function. Grandma Jane’s love is seen and projected, in every one of her family members. Thank you, Grandma Jane for your love and stability. You will be dearly missed. Love, Betsi Stitt
