Jane (Causey) Scherer raised the mother of my three children and the grandmother of my six grandchildren.
My admiration for her will grow as I watch these beautiful creatures become all they can be. Alison-my heart is with you.

She was a really big part of my life! I was really upset when I found out that she passed away! I wish she was still here, but I do believe that she is an angel looking down upon me and you. I miss her a whole lot, but I know that as long as I continue thinking of her as an angel looking upon me, I will be just fine.

Jane was like a part of our family during the years she lived in Orange. My mother and father John and Dolores Dullahan couldn't have asked for a more loyal friend. I, too,
feel honored to have known such a beautiful, gracious lady.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I remember spending time at Terri and Alison's house when we were in Jr. High back in the '60's. I always thought Jane was such a beautiful lady and she was always sweet to me when I visited their home. Please accept my warmest condolences on her passing.
