Jane will be deeply missed. She was a great mother and grandmother. Even though she was my stepmother she was always there to make sure we were all ok and loved spending time with the grandchildren Marc and Rebecca, Christopher and Elisa. She made the man of her life very happy with all her love and caring ways. Always in our prayers
