Ed and Family,
Such a lovely lady and friend to the Click family. Frank is suffering from some loss of memory, but I was able to share this news with him and he was very sad. Thinking of all of you!

Oh, we remember this precious lady way back when she worked at the Denver Dry Goods, and we all attended Bear Creek Evangelical Church. We send our love and deepest sympathy to you all.

I'm sorry for your loss. It was a pleasure golfing with Jane later in life and sitting through all the baseball games early on in our lives. She will be missed by all of us, what a great lady.

I first met Jane when I joined Raccoon Creek Ladies Club in 1990. Soon after that we worked together at the same place. We became fast friends. Through the years we played golf in many invitational tournaments. Finally we came in last at a tournament and we agreed not to enter any more. We laughed about that in many years to follow as we met frequently for coffee at Starbucks. Jane and I shared a passion for quilting and collaborated on a few quilts for friends and charity. I loved her and I will miss her!j
