Jane Simons

What a privilege to meet you, work alongside you and giggle with you dear Jane. Your zest for life,loyalty, your deepest love of family and the grace you showed in affliction, all speak to your strength -- your love of fellow man. We love you back Jane Simmons! Rest Now.

As a schoolmate of Rita's growing up I felt only kindness, concern and caring emanating towards me from Rita's mom Jane. How many people can we say that about in our lives? As a child, as a teenager, Jane made me feel safe and loved. I count her among the people who taught me how to live.

Rita's big heart of love brought me into Jane's life. That was third grade. This summer's 50th class reunion in SF tells the story of long lasting endearment. Jane was kindness for me. Thank you Rita, for sharing your mom and family too.

To My Dear Aunt Jane

You will be dearly missed and we love u very much
