To Jackie and the family : I'm so sorry to hear of Ms Jane's passing. Thank you, Jackie, for giving me the pleasure of doing her hair for these last few years of her life, she was always a delight. So sweet and always making me laugh. I will miss seeing her very much. My condolences to you and your family.
To Jackie and all the family......Aubrey and I were Jane and Jim's neighbors, in Social Circle, Ga, and we served together at Social Circle UMC for many years. Jane and I spent time together almost everyday .....We loved doing yard sales , going shopping and our church work working with the senior group of ladies....Jane was loved by so many friends and I considered her my mentor ....she taught me so much about the LORD .....I will always remember her saying when she moved to Mobile that if we did not get to see each other again in this life that we would meet in Heaven.....I will be praying for peace for all the family ....I love you all. Jane is home now and will be missed.....There will be a great reunion day when we will meet again!
