Jane was the epitome of a gracious host, community service volunteer and dedicated wife. Her radiant smile filled the room and her laugh was contagious. She left an indelible mark of kindness and generosity on all who knew her. My heart feels your sadness, and my prayers are with all of her family. Jane's sweet spirit will always be with us.

I, along with many here in Columbia, SC, am saddened by the loss of our Jane. She was unselfish, caring, dependable, and a loyal friend. Everyone looked forward to seeing Jane and admired her sense of style and desire to help others. I am fortunate to have known Jane and her beloved husband Jack. She will not be forgotten, and my heart goes out to their families.

It was difficult to hear the news of Jane's passing from Janice Cooper's telephone call. I was friends with Jane for over 35 years. We were both charter members of the Mimosa Garden Club here in Columbia. The wonderful years with Jane & Jack, along with all our many friends will be held close to my heart forever. My love and prayers are with you .... B.J. (Mrs. Gerald E.) Blanchard, Columbia, SC
