Dear Friends, I met Jane many years ago in a Silk Painting class at The Tree House. My husband ,Paul, and I would go to see Jane and Norman once in awhile.
Jane was a very talented and great woman. I did not know how many things she contributed in Life. Very Amazing.
I wish I had visited her more often.
We have been involved in Nami for about twenty five years. We have a Son who has had an illness for a long time.
My Thoughts will be with you.
Sincerely, Betty Sesser.

My sincere condolences to Norman and Sam. I will miss Jane's optimism and kindness. Jane was a sensitive and nature-loving artist with a sunlit studio above the garage built by her devoted son Sam. Her colorful paintings graced her home and sudio, beckoning her to the end of her life, as she recalled the joy that nature and the rainbows of color passed from her paint brush. Jane created an illustrated "My Farm Book," featuring crops and farm animals raised in Stanislaus County. The booklet with folder was used in third grade ag studies.
Farewell, sweet Jane. —Betty Wynne.
