Dr. Wanczyk and children. So saddened to hear of Jane's passing. Such fond memories of Emerald Avenue. She will always be young in my heart. A strong, spirited mother followed by five happy kids and an adoring husband. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

My sympathies are extended to you Cas and to your family. I put Jane (and you) in my prayers as soon as I heard she was ill. I remember being at your wedding and much more. I pray that good memories will outweigh your sadness while you grieve.

Dear Dr. Wanczyk & Family:
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I understand how difficult this time can be and words are so inadequate. Just always remember; Mary Jane will always be with you in Spirit and in the wonderful memories you shared. I can still see the two of you dancing the Polka at my wedding on 02/19/1966! And Mary Jane was very PG. Good Memories. God Bless You.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Nancy Stengel RN
