We had a bond few share.thinking of life without you is unbearable, so empty inside an always will be. I hope to see you soon my precious sister.

Love and prayers to Jaynes family and friends.
I am heartbroken to hear of Jaynes passing. I remember the very day Jayne and the her family moved into our neighborhood around 1965. We were the same age around 7 sparated only by a couple of weeks. My sister Donna and I rode our bikes down the street to meet our new friends moving in. From that day on we were inseperable. We were together everyday growing up, walking to school together, playing dolls, slumber parties, Girl Scouts, birthday parties, sunday school, riding bikes, youth group, working together at Tastee Freeze and in later years in each others wedding. So many memories I will cherish. My deepest sympathy to Jaynes family, May God be with you, Rest in peace my friend.
Josh, Justin and Family you have my deepest sympathy. I am tremendously saddened for your loss. The memory of your mother will give you comfort, and her legacy will live through you all. God bless you during this difficult time.
My deepest sympathy to the whole family. You are in my heart during this sad time
