I was always so excited whenever I knew that I was going to see Jane. She always seemed to automatically put a smile on my face and made me laugh even when I was having the worst of days. Jane will always be in my heart!

Jane and I where friends!
Whenever I took her to some events, sometimes we would start to laugh about something and couldn't stop.
Will miss her laughter and smile.
