Jane was called “Grandma Jane” by many people that knew her as she acted like a grandma to all. Her daily phone calls and checking in will leave a hole none of us will be able to fill. She would never let us leave without a hug, a kiss, and words we will never forget “I love you, I love you more, I love you the most.”
