Prayers to Dick and Family. Jane had been a family friend for decades. Always loved to run into her and Dick when i came to sycamore for visits. She was always smiling and up for a Hug. I loved her dearly. My deepest sympathy.

Dick and family, our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. Jane was a wonderful mentor to me when I worked Quality Control with her in the 70’s and 80’s at Duplex. It was always fun running into her and catching up. The last year has been tough and she always stayed strong for her family. You will be missed Jane.
Sincerely,
Steve & Vickie (Yeoward) Foster
