It´s hard to find the right words when someone so full of life leaves us too soon. Jane was the kind of person who lit up every room she entered-bubbly, outgoing, and effortlessly kind. Her laughter was contagious, her smile unforgettable, and her warmth made everyone feel like a friend. She will be missed by all family and friends. RIP Jane.

I´m sorry to know Jane has left us. She could make you laugh in a New York second! I can still hear her infectious laughter. I have fond memories of her from high school and beyond. Wherever you are Jane-keep them laughing! Love to you and all your family.
