Hey, Grandma... Shane here... Dropping you a line to say thanks for everything. Grandma, you were truly a SUPERGRANDMA!!! From the malts, eggs on toast and special Thanksgiving dressing to being the most supportive fan a young hockey player could have, you did it all. I will truly miss you Grandma. But rest assured, your spirit, kindness and drive will live on through us all. Take Care, Grandma. ... and Yes, Grandma, I'm still flossing regularly :)

There was a time when a group of us attended the Chicago Dental Society annual convention together to further our education and pick up free toothbrushes! Jane was a valued member of that troop, usually a leader and, occasionally, a savior. We all have fond memories of those days and now two are gone. She will be in our memories forever!

Althought I had lost track of Jane in recent years, I remember her fondly, especially for her contribution to Richfield. I worked with her as a staff person to the Richfield Advisory Board of Health and remember her as a tireless volunteer who cared more about her community than herself. She was instrumental in organizing a Kare 11 Richfield Health Fair years ago at Market Plaza that was a huge success. She was a pleasure to know and work with and will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathies.

Thanks for all the fun times that Jane shared with all of the people that she touched in her life. I always enjoyed talking to her. She always seemed to have a big smile on her face. She was a very wonderful lady.

Deepest regards to all of Mary Jane's family and friends. Mary Jane was always very kind tomy family and myself. My mother fondly recalled babysitting her just prior to the onset of the Depression "way out" on 50th Street past the end of the streetcar line.
