I am so very sorry to hear that Jane has past away. She was always my "Big Sister". She was my protector! I will always remember her as the most loving Mother. This has been a shock to me and it will take a lot of time to get over her death. I pray she will rest in peace. God bless her and her family. Love and prayers to all of you, Barbara Fontaine

To the Solis Family:

I remember Mrs. Jane's kindness from the time I met her as a Cub Scout over a thousand years ago until the time I lived down the street and would visit with my children, before we moved. I know how informed, alert, and caring she was from the time I met her until the last time I saw her. She was witty and had a wonderful way of looking at the world and all of us in it.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers today and I will never forget her, Mr. John (the help he gave my brother) and the rest of the family. The Chalmation Heaven has received another wonderful angel.
