Since I work with Jane's son, James, I know what a loving, compasionate family she has. May God keep them all close, and may they truly see their Mom & Dad dancing up there and having a good time. With deepest sympathy from all those people in "Unit A" who consider it a joy to share each workday with her son.

God bless all the family. When I talked to Sherry we agreed that our mom's, dad's, papa and family are all together now; up there on Thanksgiving dancing, playing cards and enjoying a few high balls. Our love and sympathy.

Our condolences go out to all her family. We enjoyed visiting with them when my parents, Jim and Pauline Fournier, had their cottage next door. Lots of great memories from Bird Lake.
