I was so sad to learn about Jane. I was on the interview team at Honeywell when she applied for a job. I, too, was an engineer from Lehigh and had been working at Honeywell for several years when Jane applied for a job. I don't know why, but I always remembered her name and smile. I've interviewed many people and don't remember a thing about them but Jane was different. She was quiet, sincere, determined, smart and had a great smile. She was really nervous during our interview so I tried to help her relax! I knew the person after me was going to be a tough interview and I wanted her to come across as confident and strong. From time to time, I'd wonder what happened to her. I knew she'd have a terrific future ahead of her. Although I knew she attended Lehigh, I didn't know she was from Bethlehem. I hardly read the paper, yet I read the paper the day of her announcement and immediately remembered her name and photo. I suppose it was fate to have read the announcement. She really didn't change after all those years. And, after reading the other messages, I see she grew up on the avenues and now I live on the avenues after moving to Bethlehem over 20 years ago. If it isn't too much trouble, would you kindly tell me where Jane grew up? The coincidences are surprising. I wish I had the chance to know Jane better at Honeywell. However, I left Honeywell about a year after she started working there. What a wonderful person and employee she was. The world has lost an incredible woman. My sincerest thoughts and prayers are with you. Judy Swartley [email protected]

Dear Sullivan family. I was friends with Jane at Liberty, she hung around with a group of us in the band, she may have mentioned the "Click", as our group of friends was often referred as. Upon reading Jane's obituary, I have to say it was a very fitting description of Jane, she was always a wonderful person, beautiful on the outside but more importantly beautiful on the inside. I haven't seen Jane in over 25 years but I remember her fondly, always reserved, quiet and unassuming but full of warmth towards others, touching the hearts of her friends, like a warm summer breeze gently embracing your soul letting you know her love and warmth. Her smile was endearing , a gateway to her very quiet unassuming personality, a glimpse of what lies behind her smile, a compassionate, caring and loving human being. Im glad to have known her as a friend, she will be missed. My prayers and thoughts are with your family and may God embrace Jane with his warmth as she embraced all of us with hers. With deepest sympathy , Ed Cann

Although I had not seen Jane in many years I will always remember her friendship very fondly from Kindergarten through 12th grade. From the time we were brownies with our Mom's running the troop to the times she took me to the Jersey shore to spend time with her and her family to being in the Liberty High School Grenadier Band together. I will always remember her kind and gentle nature. She never had an unkind word for anyone. Although I had not seen her in a long time I still considered her a dear friend. My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Helman and Carol. And to her husband and children whom I never had the pleasure to have met. God Bless. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I will always remember what a caring and fun person Jane was. We met while volunteering as Art Moms at STM, and later working together once in awhile at Eyer. She had a great sense of humor that always took me by surprise. Her observations were brilliant, and her delivery was so unobtrusive. My heart goes out to her family, whom she loved so deeply and dearly.

Brian,
Although it's been over 35 years since we were Theata chi's at shippensburg, I remberber fondly our friendship and always appreciated your class. From reading the other condolences on this site, it's quite obvious you married a women with that same degree of class. I hope you and your children are able to cope in the short term and flourish in the long term as I'm sure that is what Jane would wish for you. Sincere condolences,

I am very sorry to hear of Jane's passing. Please accept my condolences. Jane spent a year in my classroom working with students with Autism. There was always a SMILE on her face. She was such a friendly, hard-working, and positive person to work with! Words can't even express how saddened I am to hear about her passing.
To Christi, Tim, and Julie,
Your mother worked with me when I lost my Father. It was a very hard and trying year for me. Seeing your mom everyday always distracted me from my pain.
Hold tight to the memories for comfort, lean on your friends for strength, and ALWAYS remember how much your mother cared for you. Although no words can really help to ease the loss of your mom, just know that you are all very close in everyone's thoughts and prayers.
November 6, 2014
