Sheila and all the family. I’m so sorry for your loss! She is in Heaven now! God Bless you all! All our love! Bill & Rhonda
Ever since I was a little girl, Aunt Jane told me we would always match. Every time we got together, we would compare outfits and see which colors were matching. If we weren’t matching, she would smile and say, “We’ve always got matching blue eyes!” I will always cherish that little secret with her.
Jane was a very sweet lady. Loved to hear her sing . She wrote many songs of faith. I know she will be missed by many of her family.
Prayers and fond memories of the family reunions and Sunday visits with Aunt Bertha. Rest in Peace!! Lynn Luckeroth ( Jackson ( Almeda’s daughter)
Rest in Peace ! It seems we have lost several family members this month. Praying your family has peace and strength! Love, Lynn Luckeroth (Jackson, Almeda’s daughter)
Grandma Jane always knew how to make a bad day good … a cold night warm, a rainy day seem dry. She is the bedrock of many many lives – her work here on Earth is done… enjoy Heaven and all that accompanies! See you soon Grandma Jane!!
What a wonderful memory!!! Thank you for sharing!
