I have known Jane for over twenty years. We played tennis together and she was always a delight to be with. Even during her battles with cancer she always had a smile and never complained, but accepted each day as it came. She loved her family. She was so proud of all of you and spoke of you often. May that be of some comfort. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I pray that Jane may rest in peace. I'm sure she will. With deepest sympathy, Rita Phillips
