Like her dear parents, Jane was a beautiful person with a big heart and a great sense of humor. She was sweet & thoughtful, dedicated to her family, friends & community. Jane made our world a better place because she lived.

It's hard to believe it has been 10 years since Jane passed. It sounds so cliche to say, "Gone but not forgotten," but is is so true, as we remember someone who brought us joy, made us laugh and showed us love.

Jim and family, I knew Jane briefly from moving here from Maryland. I met her while Jim worked on my cars. She was very kind with a warm and friendly smile. Always a sweet conversation. We will keep you in our prayers in this most difficult of times. The Schaech Family, Stewartstown, Pa

To Jim, Tom and all of Jane's loved ones:
Please allow me to add my condolences for what I know is your very deep loss. I went away to college, then moved up here to my husband's hometown many years ago; but I grew up in Fawn Grove. I lost each of my parents when I was fairly young to their lengthy illnesses, so I have some idea of what you may be going through now.
My family lived down the street in the last house before the Fawn Grove Community Grounds -- and I enjoyed babysitting "Tommy" many times.
I was active in Fawn UM Church and know many of your extended family members and friends. I stay in touch and get down to visit my own realitives and friends who are still in your area every now and then.
I, too, remember Jane as a warm, kind lady with a gentle and loving spirit. I'm sure she set a wonderful example for you daughters, as well.
May you all find comfort and peace in your many, many wonderful memories of her and of your times together. Take care.
Sincerely,
CHRIS FELTS

I knew Jane about as far back as I can recall. We grew up in Jarrettsville, and our parents were close friends. We went through school together, though a year apart, and both worked at the Havre de Grace Surgical Clinic for a period of time.
As often happens, we lost touch over the years, but I certainly remember Jane fondly. She had a great sense of humor, a zest for living and a deep concern for others. I am not at all surprised that her life was so dedicated to her family, her church and her community. Our lives are to be valued not by what we take but by what we give. Jane was a true giver, and hers was a life well led.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. May fond memories warm your heart, bring a smile to your face and with time ease the pain of your loss.

The Morris Family,
As you can see by our classmate's messages, we all loved Jane. I am sorry I was out of town during the services. She never changed, always the sweet girl from NHHS all through her entire life. I loved her laugh. All of us will miss her. Our prayers are with each of you. Your loving memories will help to comfort you. God bless.

Jim and family,
While I have never met any of you, I knew Jane quite well when we were both students at NHHS. I haven't seen her since '62, but the memories I have of her remain. She was a fine person, and I'm saddened to hear of her passing.
May God comfort you all.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Jane's death. We were classmates in high school and attended the same university. Although our contacts have been limited since that time, I will always remember her for her beauty, her grace, and her wit. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Linda (Morris) Gall

To Jim AND Family:
Please accept our condolences and most heart felt sympathy for your loss.Jane and I went to school together many years ago,but as we all do lost touch with each other even though we only lived a few miles apart.She was always a very nice person and I regret not keeping intouch over the years.This makes two scool mates I've lost in the past couple of months. I hope the following poem will give you some comfort ,it has always been a favorite of ours.
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
