I will remember Jane fondly for the sweet spirit that she always had. Now, God has you in His Hands along with Claude, Sr. My prayers go out to her sons in this loss, and but know that Mother is now in a good place.

Jane:



We've been best friends for 29 yrs. Autumn and I are truly going to miss you. I don't know what I'm going to do, now that you have moved on...heaven has an impeccable person. Thanks for the love, caring and compassion you have shown me and Autumn all these years. Above all, thanks for keeping me straight and being the second mother to me and grandmother to my daughter. I'll miss you for a moment...but we'll meet up again. Until then................
