Mom, I have been connected to you for my entire life and that connection will continue to thrive. You taught me love, loyalty, respect patience and optimism through your actions and how you treated other people. You and dad had a bond that was so strong and invincible- he must be so proud of the way you continued to live on and thrive after he passed. You were the strongest lady I knew and and I will miss you always but am so happy that you are with dad again. You continue to live in my heart and soul.

With deepest sympathy to the family, friends and extended family. Jane, you’ve been an active and lover of art and beauty. I would appreciate always your choice to “The Great Fish and Jonah”. May the Almighty strengthen the harts of your loved ones and honor your life at this time of departing to the Eternity. May God rest you in peace.
My deepest condolences to the family.
