  • I became Janes neighbor in 2008. Immediately we were close she treated me like I was her own son.
    She was like a second Mom to me she had met most of my family and everyone loved her. She had met my mom and they were friends. Even thou. I didn’t know Jane but for 15 years I felt I knew her forever.
    I will cherish me memories of Jane for the rest of my life. Rest in peace Jane I love you.
