We are so sorry for your loss. We were fortunate to be her cheer partners for a few years at the KC football games. She loved to ring her cow bell and make some noise for the panthers. Love and prayers.

Sorry to hear of Jane's passing. I was her first cousin and our families lived within a 5 minute walk when we were young. The last contact we had that I can recall was as her geometry teacher at Dilce Combs Memorial in the early 1960s. Nevertheless, I remember her well. Some of the pictures on display brought back happy memories. My condolences to all the family
