“It’s hard to believe that God has gained another angel. You will be forever missed grandma Jane. You had a big heart for your grandchildren and great grandchildren. We have been so blessed to have you in our lives. Thanks for all the laughs & love you shared along the way! God may have you in His arms but you will always be in many hearts! May you fly with all the hummingbirds. Until we meet again on the other side of the rainbow.”
