Aunt Jane was the Mom I needed in my life. She and your Dad were there for Barry and me when we needed to be just loved and accepted. They were there when Barry passed with love and support. They were so accepting when Herb came into my life welcoming him with open arms. Aunt Jane looked forward to our winter visits and always had a small?!!! list for Herb of electrical projects to complete.(which he looked forward to) Aunt Jane was able to give Herb the inclusion of family life that he did not have as a child. We will miss her welcoming smile and hugs but are thankful for the time we shared. Our hearts and prayers are with you.

Dear Zimmerman family, I turned to the obituaries in the paper yesterday and my eyes were immediately drawn to a beautiful picture of a beautiful lady with a beautiful smile. I read with sadness Jane's obituary. My mind recalled such fond memories of her and your dad, Larry , visiting the dental office...always coming together. Our staff always looked forward to their visits as they were both such delightful and special people. I was always struck by your mother's great love and pride that she had for her beautiful family. She always had great stories to share and I always looked forward to hearing them. Heartfelt condolences on the loss of your wonderful mother. In sympathy, Cindy and John Howard

Cheers to the life of Great Aunt Jane! One of the sweetest, kindest, silliest, most thoughtful women I’ve ever known and likely ever will know. May the memories we have of her be full of love and smiles and may she be remembered in our hearts with love and light. Thank you for the beautiful memories Aunt Jane and showing Sheri and I how awesome a sisterhood can be. I will miss you and think of you often. Xoxo, Lisa, Mike, Eva and Lily Warnick

Dear Laura ,Gina and Greg and Families I’m so sorry your mom has passed away. I loved your mom so much and will miss talking with her and laughing and asking for advice. I’m feeling so sad like when my mom died. I hope your mom is celebrating with your dad , my mom and grandma and grandpa Berlin. Please keep in touch with me because I love you all. Love Debbie

There are few gems left in the world like Great Aunt Jane. Her generosity, compassion and understanding were only a few of her greatest traits. Thank you for being a pseudo grandmother for myself and Lisa when your sister, my grandma passed. I’ll never forgot when we visited you in Savannah. Here’s to endless shopping trips and conversations in the kitchen until 2am. Love you dearly.

Sending all our love and prayers. She truly was such a beautiful woman inside and outside. Thank you for blessing me with your presence as my matron of honor. I will always have those memories to cherish. We love you and rest in heaven with Uncle Larry. Please give my mom and grandma a kiss for me. Heaven has just gained a angel.

Thank you for being the best mother inlaw. Actually not... you were a wonderful friend. I will miss our days of shopping (so will the ladies at Belk). I will always remember the love we shared. No girl could have ever wished for a better person to be the mother of the man she married. Give my love to Dad and Daddy. All my love. Rocky
