Jane was my sister’s age. They went to West Side and high school together. Jane was raised a block or so from us on North Heights. I had not seen Jane in a long time but still have fond memories of her and her family. I wish I known she was still around Batesville. Prayers for all her family
May the Lord Bless and comfort all of you during this difficult time. Jane and I, along with many others, spent countless hours playing along North Heights street during elementary school. All treasured memories and more so now. Rest in Peace, Jane.

Good by old friend. The memories I have are priceless.
I was saddened to read of Jane's passing. We were in the same grades at Westside Elementary beginning in the 3rd Grade through the 8th and in High School.
I'm sad that we had lost touch, since HS.
It's my prayer that Jane's extended family find peace knowing she is in the hand's of our Lord.
