My deepest sympathy to you and all of Jane's family, may she rest in peace.
I had the pleasure of spending time with Jane at Bay Beach with Liz and her grandchildren. I was so impressed with her patience and enjoyment of spending time with her family. What a joy she was to be around
We will always remember our time in Italy with Mrs. Walters. That and running through O'Hare so we would not miss our flight. She was and still is our Italian Mother. We stood in St Peters square on Mother's Day and saw The Pope. That alone would have been perfect. Tuscany, though, would not have been the same without Jon's wine drinking partner and he will never forget their introduction to grappa in Montepulcianno. Kathryn has still not told anyone about the stone she stole in Assisi for her rock garden.
As high school friends, we spent much time together. Eventually, our lives took us in different directions, but, recently, we reconnected. I enjoyed our times at Culver's as we reminisced the good old days. Jane, I will miss you dearly. Until we meet again.
Love, Joan Pavlichek
Melanie & Family,
So sorry for your loss. Jane will be missed. She was such a nice lady!
Jane was a valued member of the RHSJ Associates and will be sadly missed. Our deepest sympathies to Jane's Family.
Dear Melanie, your mom was a very special woman. Always kind and gentle. She was a blessing to me during difficult times. May you and loved ones have peace. Jo Lomprey
