Dear Wally, Michael, and Wanda I was so very sad to hear that your precious, lovely mom passed away. Jane and I became very close friends when she helped my brother and I care for my mom and my dad in their later years. She was the best neighbor and friend a person could have. We were all blessed to have her in our lives. When I think of the true meaning of a Christian - a Godly example of how we should all live - I always think of Jane. She was an angel on earth, and now, she has her heavenly wings. God bless you, comfort you, and give you peace during this time of great sorrow. You are in our prayers. Connie and Hank

Dear children of Jane and Wally. I have loved your Mom and Dad for a lot of years. Jane always made me feel like one of her family and I felt that you were my family. I am very sad but know that she is in a better place. God bless all of you and I miss each and everyone. I wish I could be there but my Dad is 90 and going through dementia and I cannot leave him. I will be there in spirit and much love for your Mom. My heart is breaking with love for all of you. I wish that all of you know you are always Welcome in my house and will continue to keep in touch as your parents have over the past 54 years. May Jane rest in peace and fill your hearts with love for all mankind. Let me hear from you and Thank you Michael for keeping touch.
