I’m sending much sympathy for Jane’s passing. What a dear friend many years ago and I’ll never forget her hosting my daughter and me when we were stranded in Guatemala. We were aboard a flight to the states when a coup by the Guatemalan presidency such down all flights. Many good memories of Jane and her family. Betsy Hendrick
I always remember her smile and how she took care of the Irish dancers who waited in the hallway to come into the KC ST. Patrick’s party at St Mark’s many years ago. She came to our rescue in September 1994 making sure our younger son Patrick about to go to Christchurch as a freshman had a special weekend with the loving McCabe family at their place on the Northern Neck. We were able to reconnect with Erin when our son Michael and famiy were living in Falls Church and Mauve and Maura were in the same dance class 6 years ago. Our prayers to all the family.
Don Jr, Frank, Erin, Kevin and Luke. Our deepest sympathy on the death of your mother. What a wonderful and fun loving person. So many great memories of Jane & Don from St Mark’s and Santa Maria K of C. Loads of fun and laughter. May she Rest In Peace. God Bless, Don & Nancy Foltz
We will always cherish her warm embrace and hospitality during the 20+ years we went to the house for Thanksgiving! Our deepest condolences to Donald Jr., Frank (“Pancho”), Erin, Kevin, Luke, and all her grandchildren.
