You'd probably be surprised to know just how often I think of Jane (with consistently good memories). I think she was an important part of my life. She was always so kind to me, so interested in what was happening in my life, so generous and so understanding of the ups and downs of a younger person (who's not so young anymore). And, let's not forget just how much fun she was! (I remember when we were "twenty-somethings", and she donned her resurrected wedding dress. The pictures were so funny and so cute.) I also remember how important it was that I take pictures at Bill & Marsha's wedding w/ her camera. I was so honored that she actually trusted me to do that. And, we sure did have some good times with Jane and Frank! I'm very glad to have my good memories of a life well lived - - Jane's.
