I am so sorry for you loss.  On Ancestry.com is where I met Jane.  She contacted me and said that she thought that we were related, that I should do my DNA  test. So I did and sure enough we are cousins, her mother and my father are half siblings. My father is George S. Reilly Jr. born in Pennsylania and Jane's mother are half brother and sister, so we are cousins, the first relative that I have known on my father's side.  Maria Mankowski and George S Reilly Sr. are our grandparents. We joined forces and searched in different areas gathering documents for our family trees, and sending documents back and forth.
We used to communicate on e-mail and on messenger  Facebook.  We were going to meet when I came to Florida once, but she had something she needed to do so we couldn't.  
 Lately we hadn't communicated much, my mother passed away in February of 2018 .  The last time was in July 2018.  She said the cancer was in several areas of her bones. I checked today because  hadn't heard from her so I looked for an obituary and sadly found one for her.  My prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely, Jeanie Kohntopp


Bill and Family, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Jane was the sweetest person we knew.  We still remember riding down Brownsville Rd and seeing pregnant Jane trying to hook up a car.  Mo had to pull over and help. She was happy to let him, but told him she could have did it. Mo told her he knew, but didn`t
want her to have the baby on Brownsville Rd.  Still have the pictures of when she babysat Nick.  She was
great!!

Bill and Family, I was sorry to hear about your loss and my prayers have been with her and now with you.   

Dear Bill, Patty, and Julia,
I am so sorry. Jane was such a warm, loving, caring, funny and fun person.
One of my best memories is of Jane trying to teach me to do the score book for softball! I never got it, but we laughed so hard!
She loved my family like her own and I am so sorry to have lost touch. I still have the plant she gave me the last time we visited.
Love you all, 
Margie



Bill,Patty & Julia,I am so very sorry for your great loss.Jane was a sister and friend to me. I have such great memories of Jane and the fun times we had together. Remember when we went to Disney together and on the cruise, not to mention the times we visited each others houses. God only takes the best to be angels in heaven but I wish he would have left her here for a lot longer for us to enjoy. You all have my love.


Uncle Billy, Patty and Julia,
    I don't even have words to express how sorry I am for your loss! I wish I could be there with you now. But know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
     I have so many great memories of childhood sleepovers at your old house and family parties.   I'll never forget going to your camp in pymatuning and laying in the grass with Aunt Jane and watching for shooting stars.
Love you guys❤
Christie

Bill, Patti, + Julia. Words can not describe how bad Jackie and I feel for your loss.  As I mentioned in my text to you, Bill, I also feel bad about how our lives have separated since I was living with your family.  I am so glad that I got to see a picture of Janie. She looks the same as she was as a high school student.  I think it is awesome that the two of you were together for the majority of your lives.  That is a rarity in today's world.  The memories of all of the times you shared , good and not so good, are a treasure that all of you will have with you the remainder of your lives.  Cherish them.  I feel bad that I - we missed most of Patti and Julia's lives growing up.  I will be looking forward to getting together when you come up our way.  God Bless all of you. 

Bill,Patty,Julia you all have my condolences and are in my prayers.Billy here is a nice memory I have of Janie.I'll never forget the 1st time I saw Janie down South High school after you two started dating, I was in the ladies room and Janie walks in saw me and came over to me and said.Lucy I'm dating your cousin Billy!! I said NICE! She said yes and he's sooooo handsome too.ya know me Billy I just looked at her like Hmmmmm.ok.Love you Billy and I hope to see you soon.Take care.

Julia, patty, bill, and Family. I don’t think there is anything I can say to make you feel any better in this moment. My best memories of Jane is growing up just a couple streets away. Jane has always treated me like a daughter even when I didn’t deserve it! Julia and I have been friends sense we were around 10 years of age, and over the years Jane has brought me on many adventures with her family, not asking for anything in return. She was always coming up with random fun things for us to do. We never knew what to expect. Jane went out of her way to make me feel unique, loved and special.  She also had a way of speaking her mind, and I have come to cherish her honesty.   She will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to you Julia, patty, and bill. 

Bill,  Patty and Julia.  My heart is very heavy today as I learned from Bill of the passing of my friend, Jane. Please know my love and prayers are with each one of you. I share your sorrow. I have known Jane for many years - I will miss her deeply. All my love to you, my dearest friends.  God has his arms around you and we have another beautiful angel in heaven looking down on us. 🙏💗

Bill, Patty, and Julia... my most sincere and deepest condolences regarding Jane’s passing. My heart aches for you all. I wish I could come down there to pay my respects. If there is anything I can do for you all please let me know. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
