Our Sincere Condolences
So sorry for the loss of your mom and grandmother. I always enjoyed visiting with her. She is having such a great time visiting with all who went before her. May God wrap his arms around you all and give you strength.

Jane was a member of the same congregation as I was for roughly 15 years. Always made the best pies for our church dinners and you had to be fast in order to get a piece of pie. If I didn’t get any or not enough pie, then to Clem’s Cafe I would go. Jane’s presence and positive attitude were always a blessing to the congregation.

I so enjoyed Jane and am so sorry for your loss.
She was a very special lady who I will forever remember.
I cannot make the service but my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
