A. Jane Kilroy M.D.

Dr. Jane was my pediatrician starting in the mid '60's. My family lived around the corner from her William Street office, and she was always available when there was a need. She pierced my ears, handled strep in a family of 5 children, supported my siblings and I through every malady, and supported our parents through the same. My sincerest blessings to her family... Jane was a gem, and totally unique in what was at that time, a man's world. I will never forget her.

My memories of Jane begin back in the 1980s, when she opened her home on Gaskill road to a homesick Californian. I was on a migratory path from the infamous 26 Line Street abode in Somerville, spending one of my very few Thanksgivings away from the West Coast, and needed a Wednesday night meeting place to connect with my cousin, who lived near Worcester. Many hostesses would have declined to serve such a waystation function on the eve of a major holiday, but Jane couldn't have been more...

I went to Dr.Jane as a child and in turn brought my 3 children to her.I'll always remember the William St.office with that huge tree outside,and the warm and friendly atmosphere inside.The Highlight magazines that were read over and over.I e-mailed my three who are grown now with families of their own to tell them the sad news.We all felt the same way about her, and she'll never be forgotten.

Dear John, Ginny, Sally, and David,
Rachel, Brennen, Ava, and I send to all of you our love and sympathy. Aunt Jane was a special person and she had such a wonderful gift for healing others both with her medical skill and her wonderfully compassionate spirit. I will always remember fondly, the annual Christmas party at Aunt Jane's on Gaskill Road. My Mom, Donna, my Aunts' Lynne, Jane, and Sheila, and all the cousins loved coming to the Kilroy's to celebrate as a family. I will miss...

Dear John, Ginny, Sally, and David,

I am so sorry to hear of your mom's death. She was a women both ahead of her time and with a refinement that reflects times past. I have such fond memories of holidays at your house, trips to your cape house, and your mom and mine, giggling as they sang the "puth puth girl" song. I wish you all comfort and peace.

Dear Audrey, Marquis and the members of the family,
Joni and I wish to extend our deepest sympathy to each of you. We met your "Aunt Jane" at Audrey's wedding shower. What a lovely woman! She greeted us like we were old friends. As I read about her life, truly she gave so much to others. We know that she is now resting with the angels in God's Garden of Roses. May God bless you all.

David,

I'm very sorry for your loss. What a wonderful lady she was. She must have had a full life. My deepest condolence to you and your family.
