Jane, I didn't know you, but I felt the need to send you and your family my love and condolences. I'm so sorry this tragic accident has happened, but I know God brought home another one of His beautiful angels. From the looks of that beautiful picture, you look like a wonderful and kind lady and I hope you are joyfully enjoying your time with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in heaven with the rest of your loved ones that has gone before you. Sincerely with love and prayers from the Darst family.
