Although I was not privileged to know Mrs. Jane well, I would like to have. She had the most sincere, endearing smile. May God be especially close to you all at this time. Because He lives, Amy S. Osteen
I’m so Sorry for your loss. My Thoughts & Prayers are with your Family, Especially during this time.
Steve, Marsha, and Chris: Sorry to hear of your loss. My sister Linda Noles communicated with me. It seems like yesterday we attended birthday parties and such. Spent many hours at Groce Provision Company with my father Billy “Speedy” Noles. His father lived down the street from the meat and ice plants and E.B. (Noles) would walk us down there hand in hand. Will come to Fayetteville this weekend. Hope to see all of you.
Respectfully Submitted,

I was so privileged to get to know your mother well over the past few years. Our ladies circle from WS church visted the nursing home monthly & I got to visit with your parents several times. After Mr. Bobby passed & Mrs. Jane was able to attend worship services, I loved getting a sweet hug from her every Sunday. She was a beautiful lady in every way. She will be missed. My prayers are with you all.
Richard and I were very saddened by the passing of your Mother. Jane was a beautiful lady in so many ways.
A golden heart stopped beating and hearts were broken for God to prove to us that He only takes the best.
So sorry for your loss Marsha.My prayers are with you and your family
