RIP Jane. I am devastated learning of Jane's passing especially since we recently talked. I worked for her in the 70's and we remained very good friends. She came to visit in the last few years. I will miss her always! Sympathy to her family.

It seems like yesterday that we were "kid" in high school together. After many years we reconnected and kept in touch through email. We always talked about getting together again and planned to this summer.
