To Jane's family,
I am so sorry to learn of Jane's passing. I knew her from Meadowbrook School where my three children attended in the late 80's, early 90's. She was a great teacher. The children loved her. She brought so much of herself to them.
Please accept my sympathies. I know she touched the heart of everyone who knew her.
