Jane,
You were a very special person and will always be remembered for being such a strong, caring person and always putting everyone before yourself.
With my heartfelt sympathy: Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts…. (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 KJV) BLESSED BE GOD, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, THE FATHER OF MERCIES, AND THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT; WHO COMFORTETH US,…that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4 KJV) …The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. (Romans 15:13 KJV) For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (Romans 15:4 KJV) …The LORD bless thee…. (Jeremiah 31:23; Psalm 134:3; Ruth 2:4; Numbers 6:24 KJV)…Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. (1\&2 Timothy 1:2 KJV) The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace….not as the world giveth….Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (Numbers 6:26; John 14:27 KJV) O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?…Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:55,57 KJV) …Trusting in the LORD….my shepherd….He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. (Psalm 112:7;23:1,3 KJV) …Walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost…. (Acts 9:31 KJV) …Giving thanks to his name. (Hebrews 13:15 KJV) …Your sorrow shall be turned into joy. (John 16:16-20 KJV) The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you….

Jane,
We will miss you and your smile.
I worked with Jane at the Hampton Inn in Hendersonville for 2 years. She took so much pride in her work and made every guest of the hotel feel as if they were guests in her home. She was like that with everyone. Even when she was sick and in the hospital she was allways smiling and joking. I really love you Jane and will miss you.

Mr. Jerry,
I am so sorry about Mrs. Jane. I have been out of town with my mother who is sick.
I didnt get the information until it was to late to be there for support. I also worked with Mrs. Jane at the Hampton Inn Hendersonville. She was such a delight daily. Always smiling, and always loving her duties and everyone around her. She will be greatly missed by anyone who was lucky enough to have had their lives touched by her. If you need me, please contact me Mr. Jerry.
I will always love her. How can you not?
Our thoughts are with you.
So sorry for your loss.
