Not sure what to say?

Jane Kelton was an incredibly important person in my life. She was also the funniest person I've ever met, and that's saying something. Her sense of humor was bravely irreverant but she always knew how to make everyone "family" and comfortable. Were it not for Jane's love and support, I would not have had the kind of opportunities and education I've achieved. Her warm, welcoming, cheerful presence invited many a follower. I saw her live through tremendous pain and physical obstacles with...

Unfortunately I did not find out about Jane's death or memorial service until long after they occurred. I couldn't find any notice in the papers at that time. So I sent an email to Matt's work address that I found on line. I am not sure if it got there.

Dear Kelton Family,
I just found out today from a co-worker that Jane had passed away. Since, she had been on my mind for sometime, I had sent her a letter this past July to let her know that I was thinking of her.

Jane was one of kind, and everyone that ever met her had a story to tell. Her memory will live on for...

Dear Kelton Family,
