I'm so sorry to see the passing of Aunt Jane. My Mother talked of her often, as she would tell me stories of Aunt Jane with her brothers and sisters. Lots of good memories for them growing up together. May you find peace in knowing that her memory will remain. Prayer for the family at this difficult time. With deepest sympathy to her children and grandchildren, your cousin Brenda.
