To Jane, as she was known to me. "You were a great lady to have living next door. You will be sorely missed in the neighborhood. We can only guess the loss will be to your immediate family. We know that the angles in heaven have waited for you a very long time and God with them is sure to welcome Mary Jane's arrival. By L.E. Perez
