Dear Steve, Andrew & family,
As an SLP, I had the pleasure of working with Janie in Sparta Dist. during her early career years. Steve, I remember your beautiful wedding, and later receiving precious pictures of Andrew. Eventually, Janie & I lost contact, but I have remembered her fondly. She was a kind and lovely person.

I was so sad to read of Jane’s passing! I too, have wonderful memories of her! She helped host a bridal shower for me in Waterloo 33 years ago. We lost touch shortly after Andrews birth. Her laugh was contagious and she was someone everyone wanted to get to know. I know that her passing will be hard. Take comfort in knowing you’ll be reunited again!!!
