I remember Jane and enjoyed her company. I am sad to learn of her death and am thinking of her family in their loss.

Who knew we lived just a few miles apart and I was at Mendota all the time (work). We probably crossed pathes. Sorry to hear about her death. More sorry that we didn't connect about are shared work experience.
