I was honored to have served with Jane on the Marion County Sheriff Department. While we did not directly work together, I did frequently deal with her. After retirement we did have many occasions to see each other at our retiree socials and I always enjoyed chatting with her. Her infectious smile and laugh will be missed at our future socials,. Rest well Jane, you deserve it.

Thank you. Jane, for your service.
RIP. You've earned it.
