I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincerest condolences. Jane was the reading specialist for our school, Cedar Ridge Elementary, a few years ago. She was a wonderful person, teacher, and counselor. She guided many of us when we had questions about our students and their needs in reading. I will remember her in my heart, and prayers. God bless you.
