  1. We were so sorry to hear of Jane’s death, but now she is with Clyde again. We remember them so well when we first joined Arden First Baptist Church. Our prayers are with you.

  2. Becky & Wayne,

    Dolly and I are very sad to hear of Jane’s passing. She is a fine lady that we all will remember. We know that it is especially tough coming right after Clyde. After 62 years, it is comforting to know they are now together again forever. We won’t be able to be there with you tommorrow, but we hope to see you soon. Hang in there and take care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
