Felton, Words will not do justice to the loss you must feel today. You have shared the best life has to offer with Jane, and what a great choice you made to do so. She was among the dearest of the dear; how lucky you were to have her by your side for all those years. Your name is written in my prayer book, and my prayer is for God's peace that surpasses all understanding.

To the Rhodes, Youngs, and Nickersons,

My deepest sympathy to you all. I'm very sad that Jane's life was not so long, but very blessed to have known her all those years. She went way out of her way to include my parents and me in holiday dinners, came to look in on my mom and our aunt. She did put her love in action.

Love, Laurahanded

Words cannot express the profound sadness I felt upon learning of Jane's passing. I had only come to know her in the last couple of years knitting with her at the Yarn Mart and truly enjoyed the times that we sat and just knitted on our projects. She will be greatly missed by all of us who knew her. May God be with you and your family during this great time of sadness. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Felton,

I am so sorry to hear of Jane's passing. Her smile will be long remembered even though we have not crossed paths in over 35 years. Great memories last as long as you do thank goodness. Jane leaves us with thousands of those for sure.

All the best and may God be with you in this time of loss.

Felton, Boys and Extended Family,
What a shock to hear of Jane's passing. It just doesn't seem possible. When I drift back to school days, as I do more and more often these days, Jane is one of the regular, sweet, happy, concerned constants of my memory. In school she always shrunk from the spotlight but played second tier to a level much higher than the glory hogs. I have enjoyed reading everyone's responses here. We all had the same reading of Jane McGeorge through all of those years in school. I only wish jane and I had been closer in the years since. That is my loss. I pray that the Lord of comfort eases your pain and that you rest comfortably in the knowledge that your wife and your mother were as good as it gets.
Love to you,
Mike

I was so saddened to hear about the loss of Jane. My heart aches for you and your families.

Jane had a way of making you feel special just being with her. Steve and I have many, many wonderful memories of happy times we spent with you and Jane. They are memories we will always hold dear to our heart. Our prayers and our love are with you and your family.

Felton:
You probably don't remember me from high school. I graduated with you and Jane. Recently, I have the pleasure of working with your sister-in-law, Annette, at the State Hospital. Annette has been keeping me up to date with Jane's illness.

I know words cannot take away the pain you and your family are feeling right now. Please know that you have been in my prayers. I remember Jane as a truly kind person with a very sweet spirit. It is obvious that her spirit has touched many lives and that she will be sorely missed.

Please know that those of us who remember her will always remember what a wonderful person she was.

Amen.
