I praise God He put you in my life my dear, sweet friend. I can still hear your voice and laughter! Although I miss you greatly, I am rejoicing you are at peace with Jesus.

I'm so sorry to hear that Jane has passed. She was a wonderful person and I always enjoyed seeing her. I'm sure Howard will be happy that he has his sole mate back.
