Jane took good care of her family and she took good care of me. We had a lot of fun times and a lot of laughs, she will be missed.
I shall so miss Aunt Jane’s sweet stories from
the past during my visits at the nursing home
on my travels north. She was the comforting
connection to my late Mom these past 5 years
And a constant my whole life.She joins my
very dear Mom Marion & Dad Gordon
& all others♥ With Love, Diane Aznoe, Niece
