    We will dearly miss Jane singing next to us in choir and we enjoyed being able to have doughnuts and coffee after church with Jane and Paul. She was a wonderful lady and Mass won’t be the same without her.

    Jane and I grew up together at St. Gabriel’s and DuBourg. Jane always had this beautiful smile. Jane and Jim were wonderful friends and we shared many happy memories in our school years. Jane will be missed by all who knew her. Rest in Peace, Dear Friend.
