To My Beautiful Niece, I watched you grow from a young teenager (maybe a little mischievous!?) to wonderful woman and mother. So strong, you fought fiercely for Jack and Grace and persevered through difficult times and unfair circumstances, to give them the best life you could. You’ve done a fantastic job raising two amazing and brilliant children. Their successful futures will be guided by your love and complete dedication to them. Rest well Jane, you’ve earned it. Love, Your Uncle Tom

So sorry to hear of the passing of Jane, I have just moved to Il and was looking her up to reconnect with her when I found this, just wish I had done it a few weeks sooner. I worked with Jane for many years in La Jolla. we use to all hang out and Jane always had amazing recipes like her Hot Butter Rum at the holidays, we had a lot of fun back in those days, she had so much energy and a laugh that you couldn't mistake. My thoughts and prayers are with all her family and especially her children, I know how much she wanted you all.

Rest in peace Jane. You will forever be our strong, independent, sweet, fun loving February girl. Birthdays won't be the same without you. Your life is a testimony to your love for Grace and Jack. They were very fortunate to call you Mom. It is now your time to exhale knowing you did an outstanding job raising your twins. I will miss you! Love Aunt Lori
