I just wanted to say how much I’ve always appreciated Jane. I only ever saw her when I went to church, but even in those moments she really stood out to me. She was always kind and welcoming, and she had a way of making the church feel warm and full of life just by being there. She was funny too, and just someone who could brighten the atmosphere without even trying. I heard she plays piano, which honestly means a lot to me because I play as well. That’s something I always thought was really cool. Even though I only knew her through church, I’ll always remember her kindness and the impact she had on people. I hope she’s at peace with God and doing well where she is now.
