To my cousins, the Josephs, and their friends, you have my sincere condolences for the loss of Jane. From my youngest days, I have good memories of her and 'Chippy' at all the holidays at Jim's parents' home, and all the other family members, and at church, as well as all the social occasions. They were always a pleasure to be with. It's unfortunate that in the passing of time, we have to lose a loved one, but when we look back at all the good memories we've shared with them, it helps us get through the loss. We've been blessed to have the family that we've had and we should never forget that even though we get mired in all the details as they've unfolded. God has guided us and continues to bless us all.

Jane and I graduated from Slatington High School together. She was always positive and got along well with most everyone. She came to one of our reunions several years ago and shared some photos with us. My condolences.
