Jane, you were a beautiful and talented women, who touched the hearts of many. I will never forget the great memories from our school days. You were a great friend. I really wish we could have spent more time together in the past few years. Our busy lives keeps us from spending time with friends like we would like to. I just know one thing Jane, you will never ever be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family now and forever.
Love
Julie
