Jane Pratt

Dearest Marilyn,

I am saddened to hear that Jane is gone. I cannot think of one of you without thinking of the other. I remember going to your place as a little girl for tennis party dinners with mom and dad, ordering Avon, pizza and cokes after tennis at Dwight, and playing in the 12 and unders in my first tennis tournaments that you both ran. You both gave so much of yourselves to others and you loved the game of tennis with all your heart. Jane was a real kick - I cry and laugh...

She was a great teacher!!!! I'd never had her, but she scared the pants off my sister!!! That was a good thing!!!!

Marilyn,

We were sorry to read of the passing of Jane and will keep you and her in our prayers. We remember all the good times with the "gang" at Dwight Davis on the week ends. Also the games at Sunset.

Jane was a great asset to the tennis community in St. Louis and she will be missed by all.

Dear Marilyn,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Jane. I can not tell you how much I miss those Sunday matches at Dwight and all of the tournaments!
The two of you touched the hearts and racquets of so many St. Louis tennis players.
Peace, prayers and blessings.

Marilyn,

We were sorry to hear of the passing of Jane and we will keep you in our prayers. I know that the tennis community in St. Louis has lost a great supporter and you have lost a wonderful friend. My family has many fond memories of summer tennis tournaments that were run by the two of you and how much we miss seeing and talking with the two of you at the tournaments. God bless.

I am very sorry. Please contact me if you need help with anything. Jane was a St. Louis instituion. I will always remember her. She (and you as well) ran tournaments with more dedication and skill than I have ever seen.
I know she was a huge part of your life. She will be missed.
