Jane was one of the dearest, kindest, and hard working person I've known. She always had a good word for everyone and anyone. It saddened me so much that someone so good had to suffer so much. She will be greatly missed but there's definitely a bright star in the sky with her name on it.
Warmest regards
Susan and Peter

Jane was one of the most wonderful,caring,courageous, and generous individuals I have ever known. We have been friends our entire life and I don't think I could have known a better person. I will miss her, but I know she is in a better place, and she will always live in in the hearts of those she touched.
