Not sure what to say?

I am remembering Jane this Dec 31 - She worked with my former wife Wency Coleman at Horning Bros in DC . She was a sweet and vibrant woman and will always remember her love and care for our daughter Becky after her birth in April 2008 - she will be 16 next April . Also remember her stirring testimony at my home church - Layhill Community in Silver Spring - she touched everyone there that am ... May our God of all comfort continue to be with you all .

I simply can't imagine a world without Jane Raftery in it. For the past 35 years, you have made me laugh, cry, sing, and appreciate all that life had to offer. You were my rock in times of trouble, and my stalwart support always. I will miss you every day until my last day. What joy it was to be your friend. xo

She was so much fun to be around.I really enjoyed meeting all of you and you mum too But, always looked forward to when Janey was in town. So much fun and Joie de Vivre. She chose well to be with you this time around, I know you miss her and that she will be joining both your parents as great protectors and guiders along the rest of your paths. It's never...

My condolences to the Raferty family. Jane was a great gal -- all of her life. God bless her sweet soul.

With all my love

My precious friend and sissy, what a gift you have been to me and my family. My girls know you as Aunt Janey and you loved us all so well. Gavin loved to talk about Catholicism with you and we loved to worship, talk, laugh, and dream together. I'm forever thankful for your presence in my life. I love you.

I want to extend my deepest condolences to all of Jane's family and friends.

I am sending my sincere condolences to Jane's family. Patrick is my dear, dear friend and I have always heard him speak of his deep love of his sisters. The Valkyries have lost one to Vallhalla.

I was very saddened to hear the news of Jane's passing . She was my wife 's former boss@ Horning Brothers and I will always remember her as a beautiful soul who loved kids . Especially I recall how much she adored our daughter Rebecca . I was so happy to hear her testimony @ Layhill Church about a year and a half ago. I recall it had quite the impact on our congregation... She will be missed but will meet again heavan!
