Jane was a huge inspiration to me in high school, and I fondly think of her often. I am very sad that her beautiful smile is no longer here with us but her sweet, beautiful spirit has always been with me and will continue to be. My heartfelt sympathy to Jane’s family.

Tom we are so sorry to hear about Jane. She was a beautiful ray of sunshine and everyone in the Howell Community loved her. I can still see her driving that VW “Bug” and popping wheelies when she let the clutch out too fast – she would just let out a big laugh and keep going. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family.
