Linda, Judy, Dan, and Diane-
My deepest sympathy to all of you. Your mother was a doll and I’ll always remember her at Trinity
every Sunday. I went home to Bloomington last week when I heard the sad news.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. Your mother will definitely be missed!

Linda, Judy, Dan and Diane,
Your mother was such an elegant woman and a dear person to me throughout my life. Her kindness to my brothers and I during our childhood, and her love are gifts I will cherish forever.
Love to you all,
Jane was a lovely person; she made me feel very welcome when I first joined the Choir. I know that she is singing in the Heavenly Choir
now.
Such a sweet, kind person….Jane will certainly be missed. Our deepest sympathies to you.

Linda, Judy, Dan & Diane, it’s been a lot of years but I will always remember your Mom with love and affection (your old Marilyn Drive neighbor).
To the family of Jane Pollock:
I was so saddened by the news of your mother’s death. Jane was such a lovely, intelligent woman. I am so glad to have known her. I have already missed this long-time neighbor since she moved to Givens Estate. She never failed to throw up her hand when we passed by the house. I know that you will miss her greatly. God will provide Grace and Love to sustain you through this time.
