"Jane was always a sweet kind and loving woman. She would talk to my late great grandmother ,Velma Newkirk. As she was her neighbor they were close. Jane would always talk to me as a child and as I got older asking how things were and just showing genuine love for people. I found out about the service too late. But she will always have a place in my heart. She will be dearly missed and mr prayers are with the family. - Joshua Garringer Anamosa, IA"
