Jane was the typical wallflower all through grade school and high school, just so quiet. After church services in 2015, she came up to me and introduced herself. The transformation was so complete that I was blown away?? Just beautiful!! So glad that we got to say hi at the reunion. Your family has our deepest sympathies. Terry & Sheri Klein
