Jane loved being around people, she was the kind of person who always had time to listen and help everyone. She was always a fighter and she had remarkable courage. Sometimes even when in tremendous pain, she always had time to laugh with you and would never know she was in such pain. Jane loved life, whether it was laughing, shopping or joking around with her friends and family. Jane left us with these words; “Be strong”.

Jane will forever be missed.
