I had the pleasure of knowing Jane when she worked part time at Drs. Spierling, Browne & Ferguson. She was so kind and friendly and had a wonderful sense of humor! She sometimes told funny stories about the family and in particular, I remember her shopping at the Diana Shop one day and receiving a phone call from Ron, who had observed her from his office across the street. It seems he had a little shopping advice for her that day.

My heartfelt condolences to her family in their loss of such a special person. I haven´t seen her for many years, but in her picture she is as beautiful as I remember her. Rest in peace sweet lady.

I was fortunate to work with Jane for many years at Missoula Valley Pediatrics. She always came to work with a smile on her face and she never lost it no matter how hectic the day was. She loved caring for children and had a special place in her heart for children with special needs. She was not only a co-worker but a close friend. She will receive her rewards in heaven. Dan Combo

Dear Ron and family: I was so sorry to read of Jane´s death. Jim and I will be out of town in January so will not be able to attend Jane´s Memorial Service but will be there in spirit. Jane was such a special person in our lives. She was such a great nurse and loved by us all especially Korbin. May the memories of all the wonderful times you shared sustain you all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Carol Flehsrty
