My condolences to Johnny, Christopher and Patrick and all family of Jane´s. I recently found out finder passing and am very saddened. I knew Jane for many years since Kaiser. She was a great friend, nurse, mother, wife, and sister and much much more. We always met to catch up when I came home and she came to San Diego to visit me. I will never forget how much fun we had everywhere we went. RIP Jane

My condolences to John and Jane's family. Jane was my first friend while working at Baystate Medical and we remained friends. Jane was always upbeat, knowledgeable, had an great sense of humor, a listening ear and caring nurse and friend to so many. I will always cherish our times together and her memory.

sorry to hear of Jane's passing. she always had a smile and was forever laughing. Linda Gwozdz, HA, Hadley

My heartfelt condolences to Jane’s family and friends. Jane was one of the kindest people I’ve known and was loved by the many children and families she helped. She was an energetic member of the Western Mass. Coalition for Children with Special Health Needs. She was in her element at the Coalition’s winter holiday party for kids and families held at Shriner’s Hospital, making kids happy. Jane was a wonderful colleague and friend who will be greatly missed.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Thank you for taking good care of my daughter you were the best nurse and friend you will be missed

My condolences to Jane's family. I am going to miss Jane and her infectious positivity and zest for life. She was always fun to be around and made it easy to let loose and have fun. She was an amazing person and I am blessed to have had her as a part of my life growing up as well as an adult. It's rare that you actually want to be friends with your parents friends! Jane will be missed but I'll be thinking of her any time I see some purple or hear some of her favorite songs. May she rest in...

What an amazing and fun loving person Jane was. Her smile touched a lot of people in positive ways, conveying to us a sense of friendship. Jane will be missed by all who knew her.

I worked with Jane back in the 1980's at Amherst Medical Center, OB/GYN. She was calm, organized, and fun! I remember her writing checklists of things to do on behalf of our patients. (This was decades before checklists became standard practice.) I will always remember Jane's kindness. My condolences to her family.

Thank you for your service of being my pediatrician for many years as child throughout them years I will dearly miss your bright smile and brightness
