We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Mount Vernon
Sincerely sorry to hear this sad news. Jane always had a smile and vibrant personality. I always enjoyed catching up with her when we would run into each other around town. A light extinguished too soon. Sending peace and prayers, Monica Randolph Jamison
Lee, I am so sorry for your loss. Jane was such a fun, pleasant person and I loved her smile and little giggle. What a joy she was, she is an angel now, hold her love in your heart, always. Annamae Baker
Jane will be deeply missed. I have so many fond memories of her. She was one of the very few people I trusted with my dogs and she loved them like they were her own. We made thousands of dog treats together to fundraise for dog rescue. I would not have been able to foster as many dogs as I did without Jane’s help. I knew she was always there to check in on them if I asked her to. Our birthdays are less than a week apart so we always got together for a little celebration of the little things like ice cream and thrift shopping. I treasured her friendship and will miss our talks.
Deb and family, We are thinking of you. Sending hugs and caring thoughts.
Lee and family: Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless.
