I just found out about Jane's death today. I ran into a mutual friend, and he told me about it. I was shocked to say the least. I had tried several times to call Jane in the last 6 months... now I know!
I've known Jane since I was 10 and used to spend the night with her several times a month. I have kept in touch with Jane since then, even when moving out of state. We used to see each other regularly at the gym about 5 years ago, until she had knee surgery. The last time we saw each other was a couple years ago at my 40th birthday in Nov 2019. She drove 40 minutes to the country to wish me a happy birthday... I've kept several cards and keepsakes from her throughout the years.
Jane had such a kind soul. She wouldn't wish harm on anyone. I will miss her. I would have gone to the funeral had I known.
My heart is heavy with sadness. My condolences to her family. She bragged on them often!
Best,
Jillian Clifford Van Horn
