I feel stunned that Jane has passed.. She was a constantly smiling, soft-hearted and positive member of our class at OHS. It seems impossible and too soon. My prayers for her family’s comfort; my memories of good times to Jeannette.

Leon,
Sorry to hear about Jane. George and I had so many good times at the campground in Hartford, and at the get-togethers at your Florida home. So many of our camping group have moved on, that we have only memories of the great times we had through the years. Blessings to you, and may time be the healer of your loss.
Sincerely,
Betty

Lee, we were all saddened by the news of Jane’s passing. From the time when we were younger during summer visits in Michigan, until the last time I saw Jane in 2005, she always had a big smile and a hug for me and all my family. A memory that will never be lost.
Jane’s aunt Hazel always enjoyed talking with Jane the past few years and keeping up with what is going on with your family and the Daniel’s family.
Although this is a difficult time, always remember that with time, our fondest memories will grow stronger, easing our pain.
We wish we could be with you at this difficult time.
Love and blessings to you, your family and Bettie, Jeannette, Bonnie and Danny.
Greg, Kathy, Devin, Ryan and Aunt Hazel.

Uncle Lee & Cheryl,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We wish we could be there in person to hug you both. Aunt Jane was a wonderful lady who always had a smile on her face. Remember that she is with God now and probably laughing it up with Grandma & Grandpa.

I am very saddened to hear of Jane’s passing. I did not know that she had been ill. My condolences go out to the entire family. My Mom, Helen Jerrett also sends her condolences. She would certainly have been at the funeral, but has been visiting me in Port Huron, since New years. Again our prayers are with you all.

Jane & Jeanette were in my class in school and I always considered them good friends. It’s been some time since I’ve seen them, but they have never been forgotten. I actually knew the entire family and, therefore, my thoughts and condolensces are sent to you all. May your many memories help you through this difficult time. Jane always had a smile and I’m sure that, plus her sweet personality, will be missed by many. Hugs to the entire Daniel family.
