Jane was a lovely lady and one of my favorite grandmothers (of a classmate). My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Hugs to Beverly, DeAnna, Duane and Dennis.
Thank you Liz! Love to you and thanks for the Hugs. DeAnna says hi and would like to talk to you too.
Jane was such a special lady. She made the world a better place. My prayers for your family. Thinking of you.
Thank You Becky. It is good to hear from you
Jack there is nothing I fill or can say to make things better, you know she is in a better place where there is no pain, you can look forward to seeing her on the other side. She was so good to me when I came to your house when we were in school. The best thing she ever done was raising a good man. what a good buddy I have in you.

It was a privilege for me to make contact with Jane through through our research of the Blaikie family.
Jane was obviously loved greatly and will be missed by her husband and close knit family. I am saddened by your loss.
