Jane was surely an inspiration to all who knew her. What a great lady!
Jane was an organized mom and a loving friend. ( early 1970s) She always wanted Matt and Laura to have the same organization. She made sure that the kids had a page of math to do upon awaking. She gave them a time that they could come out of their rooms in the morning. I was amazed ! My Dan, Mike and Steve would never have completed a page of math without prompting. I admired Jane for her will to be the best mom around…and she was! I reconnected with Jane by letter a few years ago. She told me all about Pat and her grandgirls! She always bragged about Matt and Laura and their careers. I will miss Jane! Rest In Peace 🙏
Jane was always so sweet, upbeat and had a great attitude. She handled her illness the same way. God got amother angel.
I’m so thankful and blessed to have been part of Jane’s SCL Church Ladies group.
Matt and Laura Tom and I always enjoyed seeing your parents at church, school and social settings.
Rest in peace in each other’s arms, again!
Thanks for the memories dear friends,
Barb & Tom 🙏❤️🙏
