I will always have good memories of Aunt Jane. Seems that she was a part of every special occasion and family gathering while I was growing up. She was a very nice and sincere woman. She was always interested in me and my family and always made me aware that she really cared about us. She was a quiet, dignified and classy woman. I loved her and I know she will really be missed.
Pat and Vicki, I am sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. It has been many years since we played in the dirt down where the Village Shopping Center was built but I still remember those days. My best to you both. Debbie (Ringer) Cornelius

The sweetest lady I have ever known. Adios, Carmela.

5/1/2011 11:27:18 PM Larry Gajderowicz With Heartfelt Sympathy While our prayers surely cannot sooth the pain of your loss, I hope at least that you find some comfort in knowing that so many of us genuinely care, and pray that God will indeed comfort you in the knowledge that His will is done. May you feel the peace that only God can bring to you….

I hope she got a chance to read the card I sent her. To Patricia and Vicki; I loved your mother almost as much as I love my own mother. Despite the age difference between us, I considered her a dear friend.

5/1/2011 11:26:01 AM Brent Saucerma One of the best people I will ever know Hap and Jane were two of the best people I have ever had the pleasure to know. They were good friends to my grandparents, and I fondly remember spending time with them at family gatherings, church, and at their home. Part of the excitement of visiting grandman and grandpa was going to see Hap and Jane. Janie always sent us two dollar bills for our birthday after they were taken out of circulation, and I always looked forward to seeing what year the bill would be. I am deeply saddened to lose Janie, but I am happy that she is at peace. My thoughts and prayers are with Vicki, Patricia, and the family.
