Oh, Pat, I’m so sorry to of Jane’s passing. My sincerest sympathy to you.
Rest In Peace Jane with our Lord. we shared birthdays remember mine was March 13th and we graduated in 1971. Fond memories we shared 💜
My heart is breaking for I have lost a great friend. God bless you Pat in this most difficult time.
Losing a friend is so difficult. However, knowing that she spent her life helping so many people – and animals – we know that she is resting in Peace in Heaven.
Pat, I am so sorry for your loss. Jane was a roommate my senior year at SR, and we were able to reconnect and meet for lunch several times in recent years. I will treasure the last time we met in 2019. You and the rest of your family are in my thoughts. Jane will be missed.
It was a privilege to have known Jane since our time together in Girl Scouts and throughout our teaching careers at Moon. I’m so sorry she is not with us now to spread her kindness and present her calming aura.
There are no words to describe the loss that we feel at Jane’s passing. She was so much a part of our lives—weddings, baptisms, parties, picnics, going to shows, dinners, movies,…
Pat, we are here for you in anything you need. We offer our most sincere condolences and love.
So sad to learn of Janes passing this week. We will miss this special lady in our life. She was so caring and kind person to so many people, but most of all her love for cats and other animals was over the top! I know she will be in charge somewhere in heaven and taking care all the cats and other animals! Jane, we love you and will miss you!
Jane was always kind to me.
We shared a love of tearooms and enjoyed afternoon tea over the years.
I’ll never forget her thoughtfulness to my granddaughter. She had a giving heart. My heartfelt sympathy to Pat.
We’re all devastated with Jane’s passing. May the Lord comfort you,Pat.
However, we should all rejoice that she has eternal life with our Father. No more pain, suffering, falls, etc. She is in a better place!
So sorry we will not have Jane’s presence in our lives. I worked with her in the Moon elementary schools and took advantage of her outstanding sewing skills. Will miss her.
I just learned of Jane’s passing and am sad that she is gone. Sending prayers to Pat and all who knew and loved Jane. I met her through my grandmother, who was married to Jane & Pat’s father. She was always such a sweet soul. Rest easy in the arms of Jesus!
