Jane was my cousin. A sweeter person never walked the earth. I have a lot of happy memories all the way back to the Friday Farm that her family lived when we were very young. Her husband Bob is someone that I felt instantly comfortable with. As I get older I can’t imagine life without my own wife. I wish Bob only the best through this very difficult time.

Jane was my cousin, younger than me, and I never knew her that well, sad to say! After her mom died, we became face book friends. We chatted back and forth a lot at the beginning and then we both got busy, I guess. So sorry to hear about her passing. Regards to her husband and family! We are going through a crisis here, so I will not be able to attend. May God Bless her and her family!

Jane was married to my cousin Bob Cardarella. She was such a sweet lady. I will never forget the time my husband and I visited with them in Florida earlier this year. We will miss her and offer our condolences to Bob during these very sad times.

Jane was such a sweet, caring person. I was fortunate to have been able to spend time with her in Madison and loved the visits in Florida. My thoughts and prayers go out to Bobby and his family. Say hi to Steve in heaven for me. Joan Cardarella..

Jane and I spent the 70's and most of the 80's working together at BAVI. We worked hard and ate well thanks to grill outs in the summer and Jane's treats throughout the year. Jane was such a generous person and tireless in her holiday decorating, especially Christmas. I am saddened to hear that she has passed after quite a number of years sharing the battle of health challenges with Bob by her side. May there be comfort to Bob and Jane's family to know that her heart is now beating in heaven. We here on earth will miss her.
