Jane was so much more than a family friend, she was like a second mother early in my life. Growing up, her home was always a place of warmth, laughter, and welcome. She and my mother shared a special friendship, and Jane opened her home to family and friends often, hosting pool parties, cookouts, and gatherings that created memories I'll always treasure.
And her Sunday gravy... *Madone!* It was delicious!
Jane had a gift for telling you exactly what you needed to hear. Her advice was always honest, thoughtful, and given with genuine care. She never hesitated to listen when someone needed a compassionate ear, and I was fortunate to experience that kindness many times over.
One of the greatest honors of my life was having Jane as my Confirmation sponsor. Her faith, guidance, and steady presence meant more to me than I can fully express. She helped shape the person I became simply by showing me generosity, strength, and love.
Her children were among my closest friends growing up, and because of that, Jane was a cherished part of my life. I will always be grateful for the love she showed, the lessons she taught, and the countless happy memories she helped create.
Jane leaves behind a legacy of friendship, kindness, generosity, and unwavering support that will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who knew her. I will always remember her with love, gratitude, and a smile.
