Jane, my beautiful and very private friend. You lived a life of grace and love.
We were best friends in our youth always dressing alike, appreciating the latest crazes, and growing into young women together. I was your very willing audience sitting on your morning-glory decked porch as you read the poetry you loved to write in your teens. Later you were the one who remembered all the little adventures we had as teenagers that I had forgotten, and you would recite those to me. We´d reminisce and laugh and we were young again.
I already miss knowing you are in this world. Love always. Joanna,
