Every once in awhile a special life crosses our paths that shows us all a much better road to follow in life.



I have been blessed in my life at a time that was grim to have had the honor to know and love such a person. Jane's entire life and how she lived it has given me hope and inspiration in my own. I share a special bond with her forever.



Jane left behind a family that is as caring and loving as she was and I am honored to have been a part of.



My heartfelt sympathies to all of them. I love you all.



With all my love,

We have so many fond memories of Aunt Jane. Her smiles, her love and her hugs. When Pam, David and Tim were growing up, we spent many Sundays for dinner with Aunt Jane and Uncle Arnold. David used to tell us that he loved Aunt Jane's 'catholic potatoes'. She will be missed by so many, but we must realize that she is "Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on his gentle breast. There by His love o'er shaded, sweetly her soul shall rest!



We must take refuge that she has taken her fleeting breath and that her eyelids have closed in death. She has risen to worlds unknown and beheld Him on His throne. Rock of Ages (Christ) cleft for me, let us find our rest in Thee!



God Bless you Aunt Jane and keep you in His Care!
