Warren, Betty, and family, our deepest condolences to you for the passing of your dear sister, Jane. May God’s love bring you peace and your memories bring you comfort.
“Aunt Jane” was a ray of sunshine every time I saw her. She would always come see me in my office when she had an appointment scheduled with her doctor.
Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Theresa
Jane and I have been friends since high school. Even though distance over the years was a factor, we always tried to phone on birthdays, etc. and because I lived only 1 and a half hours away I’d come and spend the night and we’d catch up. No one could’ve had a better true friend. When Warren Jr. let me know Jane died, I was shocked. I thought of things she had gone thru. Always trying to find the good and being thankful. And I’m so thankful for having her in my life.–Mardy Harding
Jane was a kind, caring and selfless person. I will miss her greatly. To her family my deepest condolences.
Jane was the sweetest woman I have ever met. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and the warmest hugs to give to absolutely anyone she met. I’m honored and privileged to have known her for as many years as I have. I smile knowing she is now receiving an even warmer hug from Our Lord and Savior. Love you so much Jane.
A truly friendly person. Always enjoyed her company when visiting Front Royal Elks Lodge. She will be missed by all who knew her.
