Queenie gave the most wonderful, fully loving hugs. She will be sorely missed. Her beauty was not only external, but absolutely shone from inside. Our deepest condolences on her passing.

Was like a 2nd grandmother to me when her sister and my grandmother (Bonna Bailey) passed away. She truly touched and inspired me in so many ways. I know she is in heaven reunited with Jesus and family members that passed.

Jane!! AKA Queenie!
How my Ed adored you! And he loved Art so much.
You two were wise & loving support to us & we treasured you & your family beyond words. They became our family.
When Ed moved to heaven, it was the most natural thing to come to you for loving support; hugs smiles & humor!!
I can only begin to imagine what a stir you made in heaven! Oh my! The rush of loved ones waiting to hold you! What a crush that must have been, but I can see you raising your hand for a moment for silence as you took you first breathtaking look at Jesus...
Be still my beating jealous heart! The Lover of our souls reaches for you with such joy & tenderness...
Then the holy party begins!! Art Mike, Ed & so many more dancing for joy!!
You my beloved friend, have reached the place our spirits have longed for since we drew our first breath! Congratulations on a life so well lived that we all want to follow you!
You will always be the Queen of Hearts dear Jane!! I love you & your precious family with all my heart!
Dear fam: tears come to my eyes as I write this! I would love to be with you at this time as you were with me.. I am going to Boston but my heart will be with you. Hugs kisses & prayers unending!! Pat & the Abernathy clan.

I didn't know her but I felt that I did thru her daughter, Beverly, and her granddaughter Michele who is a wonderful friend. I know you will miss her more than words could express. My sympathy to all of her family. She was an inspiration even to me. I loved her loving smile in every picture.

Oh Mama Jane, how wonderful for you that you are free and have gone to your reward. How sad for your family and those whom you have adopted as family, that now we have to wait to see your beautiful smile and hear you sing again. Prayers for your family. I love you.

Heaven has been made a little better! My sympathy goes out to all of the family, Jane will always hold a special place in my heart.

As our Queen flies away to meet Him in the sky, we are a little sadder & a little poorer without her. Jane was truly the most virtuous, loving & fun Christian woman I have ever known. She will be missed by all who ever knew her! How I would've loved to see her reunion with King Art at their Heavenly "Cox Crossing." What a birthday celebration it will be for our sweet Queen Jane :)
