t Summit Hills, and I admired her tremendously from then on. She endured many trials and continued smiling and welcoming all throughout.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Jane and Tinkerbelle welcomed my mother, Evelyne Bishop, and her fur baby, Tippy, to Summit Hills. She was a wonderful neighbor, full of encouragement and companionship and truly helped my mom enjoy her last years. Her zest for life was infectious. We have thought of her often and are so sad to hear of her passing.

Linwood and I had the distinct pleasure of getting to know Jane and Francis while Francis was receiving hospice care and Linwood was his volunteer. It was wonderful to see Jane create again a happy life at Summit Hills after Francis passed away. Linwood especially loved Jane and Francis, and we have the comfort of knowing it's not 'goodbye' but 'see you later'. Our deepest sympathy and prayers for God's peace.

Our sincere sympathy goes to Jane’s family. It was our pleasure to be with her in Golden Tones Senior Adult Choir at Morningside. She was a charter member of the choir. Her dedication and joyous spirit was a director’s inspiration. When we sang at Summit Hills, she always welcomed us with warm hospitality and excitement. We admired her enjoyment of life which she lived to the fullest with lots of energy. She was a blessing to everyone who knew her. She will be missed.

My Mother, Rena Mason, was a close friend of Jane Gibbs while they were both RN's at Spartanburg General Hospital. My Mother always talked about what a wonderful person Jane was and they had many good times together nursing the sick back to health.
