Kathy, you will never know how much your mother means to me and my family. When she moved back to her apartment across from my Aunt Ann she literally gave my Aunt life again! They spent many hours talking about Fairhope and their similairities in life. She was so much fun!! She will be greatly missed by all of us! But her memory will live on! Thank you for sharing her with us. Love, Mary Ann Daniels

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this sad time. We have the fondest memories of going out on the town with Jane Allen while Jimmy was away at the war. Jane's earthly battle is over, but we are sure she's keeping the party hopping up there with Ed and Porter. Rest peacefully, little flapper lady.

Dear sweet Jane, enjoy the heavens. our loss here on earth is the angels' gain. Now at last you can meet sweet Ed Sledge again. Looking forward until God brings me home to you. Keep the party going up there.

Jane Allen filled a large role in my life. Somehow, she wore the hats of mother, sister and friend. My entire life changed direction the day I met her!
I was always remember her love of life. Her positive outlook touched so many people. I am sure we will feel at home in heaven because we will be able to recognize her touch immediately.
I suppose all any of us could ever really want is to leave the world a little better off for our having been here. There is not question that Jane...

Jane Allen, Betty and I may have traveled separate journeys and crossed many bridges in our lives, and at the time that we all came together as sisters and a family was one of the best days in my life. I have some precious and wonderful memories of us together and I know that we loved each other and together we laughed, cried and found that whether we are together or far apart, we will hold each other in our hearts. To Betty, Jamie, Cathy and Libba, I love you all and your Sister and Mother...
