We were so saddened to hear of Jane's passing. She made such a lasting impression on our children and us. They adored her and were always happy to see her at Montessori School. I remember her thoughtfulness especially. An example of this was when our cat passed away. Jane sent a Children's book over that helped explain the situation and was very soothing to my kids. We were so touched! Such a wonderful woman. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

So, so sorry to hear of Jane's passing. I often ran into her while walking my dog, Lily Rose. She always had a dog biscuit in her pocket, as well as a kind word. She was a very positive, upbeat person, and put up a very courageous fight over the past several years. May she Rest In Peace. Fondly, your neighbors; Wendy Christern and beagle-Lily Rose❤
