I was blessed to have been on Planet Jane for three years. It was the most understanding, loving, caring, and beautiful place ever. I will love her forever.

I knew Jane as a good friend at Northwestern University in Chicago, where she and her eventual husband, Christopher, went to school. She had a wonderful laugh and knew how to call people (like me) out when when they were being pretentious. She was a good and reliable friend, and the word was richer for her presence.

I spent many hours with Jane in the baby pool at Daleview pool decades ago. We didn't see much of each other in the ensuing years, but I always felt comforted by seeing her heading to Metro most mornings on my way to work. Her very presence on the street had a comforting effect. She was a wonderful woman and will be missed. My thoughts are with you.

Jane was a lovely person, always kind and with a smile on her face. We were proud to have her as a member of the mighty mighty class of 1969 at Mamaroneck High School and will remember her always. Sincere condolences to everyone who loved Jane, especially her family.
