Dear Tom,

From the first moment Nick and I met Jane, we liked her. She had a very warm, sweet, and friendly way about her. When she entered a room, she brought sunshine.

But one of the greatest things I will treasure is how "she brought joy, fun, and life" back into your life, Tom. For this I am truly grateful.

She will be in our thoughts and prayers always. We miss her. We love the two of you.

I ask that when one says a prayer for Jane, please say one for my brother, Tom--that God will give him the strength to carry yet another heavy cross. Love, Kathy and Nick

Jane,

You were always a ray of sunshine whenever I saw you. When God called you to his side he knew he was taking an angel. My prayers will always be with you and your family. I will miss you

Dear Uncle Tom,

We are so very sorry. We just can't believe this has happened. We are praying that you, as well as Jane's family, will truly receive God's comfort and peace. It has been an honor to know Jane! What a beautiful smile! Jane was always loving and thoughtful and friendly!

I am so happy that we were all able to celebrate together for my parents' birthday party on Dec. 3rd.

I will treasure those happy memories. Very Sincerely, Susie, Bernie, Sarah, and Christopher Szeszol

Tom,



First and foremost I would like to express how sorry I am for your loss of Jane. I also extend my sorrow to Jane's family and friends.



Sweet Jane.... I cannot imagine what it is going to be like without her. Jane was the epitome of what warmth is, kindness is, thoughtfulness is, grace is, and most importantly, what love is.



Jane loved Tom, her Hollie, her fish, and family and friends dearly. I will miss seeing her smile and hearing her laughter. I will miss her as a friend.



It will not be the same at Rossini's without her but I will always feel her presence when I am there. I am very blessed to have had her in my life.



Just like she loved them here, Jane is now a guardian angel watching over us all.



I love you, Jane.......

Dear Tom:

words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for you and Janie's family. What a profound loss for anyone who knew her. She was truly a very dear and caring person who was taken away from us far too soon.

To Jane's family,

I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Jane for nearly 10 years and what I remember most was her bright smile and cheerful greeting to everyone as well as the vitality she displayed moving through the office. She worked very hard and was always willing to help you complete your task. We will all miss her a great deal and share your grief. God Bless you all.
