Sending our deepest sympathy to you, Jerry and your family. We just learned of Jane’s “Homegoing”. Of course we are thrilled for her but our hearts are broken for you. She had such a beautiful and joyous presence… she lit up a room. Praying for you as you adjust to her absence here, but live in the hope and promise of seeing her again! Tom and Lynnelle Pierce

Jane was smart, funny, gracious, kind and had a bubbly personality and an infectious smile that would light up any room. Bob and I had the great privilege of meeting Jane the first time she came to pick up Lucy as a young child from our group day care home, Sunshine and Rainbows. After a long day at work, Jane still always came thru the door with a smile, interacted with all the children and was eager to ask Lucy about her exciting day of fun, adventure and learning. We bonded over being grandparents and knew that children were a special gift from God. She supported us and attended our Christmas programs, graduations, birthdays and other special events. Jane acknowledged us and knew the importance of a strong foundation of love and learning was a pathway to success for each child's own unique and individual talents and personality. Our family will forever hold in our hearts the compassion and understanding that Jane and Jerry and their family did for us when Bob passed away. Our prayers go to Jerry, the entire family, and all who knew and loved her. Fly with the angels, Jane and help God take care of all those precious little ones in heaven. Linda Eichler, Wendy Haughn and our Entire Family

I didn't know Jane, but I know Jerry. If Jane was anything like Jerry, then I'm sure she was a wonderful and kind person. Sending prayers of peace, strength and courage as the family goes through this difficult time.

My dear friend, your smile, your laughter I will miss. My kids called you their second mom when they were young. We had so many good times and I thought more. You are having a Homecoming with Jesus in his beautiful house. You are Loved. We are here for your family and will continue to love on them. In Christ Carolyn & Jim
