I'm sadden to learn of Jane's passing. I got to know Jane when she worked for the UPD and she was always a ray of bright light. To her family I would like to share a quote from Winnie the Pooh, "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard". We were all lucky to know Jane.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Jane. We go way back at UPD and spent a lot of time teasing each other. She was such a good person and so proud of her family. She will always be part of my memory of working at Urbandale.

We were all so very saddened and surprised to learn of Jane's unexpected passing. Jane was very highly thought of at the City of Urbandale, and especially at the Urbandale Police Department; she was a kind and genuinely good-hearted lady, gone much too soon. We share your family's sorrow and you have our heartfelt sympathy.

We are so sad to learn of the passing of our dear friend, Jane. We are so very sorry. We know those words are inadequate, but we truly are sorry for the pain of loss that you are experiencing right now. Not only were Jane and Mike really close friends, but we also shared so many happy times and trips together. Both were easy-going and such fun. We have lost a great friend, a great traveling partner. We pray for comfort and peace in your hearts at the difficult time.

Jane was a good friend and co-worker during my time at UPD. I'll always remember her smile and ornery sense of humor. Our thoughts are with you.
