Jane was my favorite cousin. She was a few years older than myself, but she always treated me like a friend, never like some pesky kid. Jane arranged for both of us to see plays and would even take me back stage to ask the actors for autographs. She was kind, humorous, patient, and wonderful. I miss you Janie!
