We were so saddened to hear of Janes passing.
We will always remember her kindness to our son Misha, and all the fun he had at her house with Chris, Nathaniel, and Jordan. Jane was the mom that would let Jordan give Misha a giant bowl of Lucky Charms for his birthday! We will also remember her enthusiastic involvement as a room mother at Pinckney elementary school back in the day.
With our deepest sympathy,
Nancy and Richard Hernandez
