Dear Jane's Family,
I spent a lot of time with Jane when her and I used to attend the prayer group at St. Mary's Church in Derby years ago. We prayed together and became good friends. She would call me with prayer requests on a routine basis and would often talk fondly about her family especially her grandchildren. Then all of a sudden I couldn't contact her - by phone or mail. My Christmas card came back undelivered. I assumed she went to live with her family. I was sorry to here of her passing though I am sure God welcomed her home with a warm "Well done my good and faithful servant."

Sincerely,
Sue Tonucci
