Jane was a very special person to me throughout the many years I've known her. I offer my sincere condolences to John and Rachel, Lola Marie and, of course, Dan, her partner, who cared for her so lovingly.

Jane has been my loving friend since the summer of 1947. We shared so much together, we grew into adults together. There was so much to learn from her, just watching and listening to her. There will never be another. She held true love for John and Rachel, Loved being a Grandmother, you would think Lola was the only child on earth. She found Dan, who was the perfect person she waited to come into her life. There will never be anyone to replace Jane.

Jane was a very gracious and loving person whom I met while she was very sick. She had so much heart and soul. I immediately picked up on her love of life and the joy she had within her. God love you, Jane.
