We have been friends with Jayne for years and are sorry to hear of her mom’s passing. Jayne was, first and foremost, a student, bright, fun-loving and one of those kids who just made teaching a joy. And, to this day, she is still a wonderful, kind, person whom we are still privileged to call our friend. How proud your mom must have been of her family! Our sympathy goes out to you all. Sincerely, Corrine and Don Peters
