It's okay to miss you,
It's okay to cry.
Just know I'll never forget you.
This isn't a permanent goodbye.
Love you my friend.
Jane was one the sweetest, kindest, and the most gentle person that I’ve ever known. I worked with her for years at Home Health Resources. She was always a joy to be with. She was passionate about her love for her family and God. She will be missed.❤️
Love you Jane
