There's a light at the end of the tunnel, there's love that’s awaiting you there. All cares and troubles you leave behind, as you climb the golden stairs. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel, there to meet your Lord face-to-face. And you will be in the Home that you longed for, saved by His Heavenly grace.



You are missed greatly and always will be. We love you. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We picture you happy and healthy again....what joy!!!!!



Love always,

Jim, Joel, Jane, Jill, Jann,

I remember coming to your house when I very young and how much fun it was and your mom cooking all that great food. I'm glad we got to see her at the birthday party. My mom, Mary Anne Hummel, sends her sympathy and regrets that we can not attend the funeral.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Love,

John and Margie (Hummel) Pollari

Dear Jane, Mr. Sheets, and family: I want to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I enjoyed playing scrabble with Mrs. Sheets when she came to NH and Maine. I am thinking of you all. Roseann Bailey
