I worked at Norwin with Jane. She was a lovely woman who will be missed by her daughters and grandchildren. I know her stepson´s name is Fred, but I don´t know if he had a brother or a sister. All wonderful people.

Rest in Peace Jane, your passing is a real loss to me and all of us that loved you at Redstone. I treasure the times we spent in the shop. I loved our talks and you ALWAYS made me feel appreciated. You are a special person who I will truly miss.

May the Lord comfort you in your loss. Jane was such a blessing to me when I worked at Redstone. She was so full of wisdom and encouragement every day to me. She blessed me with a homemade afghan as a going away gift that I will always treasure. She was so proud of her family and loved you all. May she rest peacefully in the Lords arms
