Jane was a true gift to so many of us. I know she helped more people than she could ever imagine. May her memory be a blessing. Her life was.

Jane was a bright light in the years that I knew her. She was able to put the ups and downs of daily life into a larger picture. I was sorry when she left DC, and she will always be part of my foundation.

I am so very sorry to learn of Jane's passing and send condolences to her family, Carole and her sons, and those already passed as I also knew her family well. She was a wonderful and special being, and deserved so much good in her life. Her spirit now can fly high and free, and I wish her the very best on her journey home. Jane and I were besties in high school and we spent many an hour riding about in her different Corvairs, one with the top down, and then in her bedroom doing teenage things, as I lived just down the street. We were also in the same high school sorority together. We touched base here and there over the years, yet eventually lost touch until a reunion was advertised and after this we talked on the phone every now and then which I very much enjoyed and appreciated. And so now I say dear friend until we meet again!

I met Jane when she was in her early 20´s and putting in the foundation for a very good life. She was a great lady and really helped a lot of women trying to find a better way to live. And a SERIOUS sports fan who could put the men to shame. God bless her soul.

Jane was a vibrant, beautiful person. As I recall she was an ardent, Washington Redskins fan for ever loved.
