A wonderful lady..she will be missed by all …our love of music connected Mrs. Jane and I. Her love of music brought the best out of her students…sometime in the late 70’s I gifted her with a set of LP’S of the Masters….a relative had passed and gifted them to me…over the years when we would see one another..she would say..”I listen to the records often and think of you. She always had a smile and a word about our Lord Jesus. She made an impression on me that I will always cherish….my prayers to her family.
