    So sorry to hear of Jane’s passing. I have so many wonderful memories of Sundays and holidays at your grandparent’s home in Moorhead. Jane was always in the middle of the fun.

    Missing all of you and being with you to celebrate Aunt Jane’s life. We know that she is with Uncle Jim and watching down on us all.

    Jane was a classmate of mine and good friend all the years that she lived in Moorhead. My deepest sympathy to her family. She was always full of laughter and fun to be with. Blessings to the family.
