Jane’s commitment, dedication and advocacy for children with special needs shone through in all her work with them. She was instrumental in advancing the use of technology to better enable her students to communicate with the world around them. She touched and changed the lives of many - her students & colleagues alike. Truly a woman of integrity and passion in every aspect of her life— most of all her beloved family- of whom she was rightfully so very proud!
Our very deepest condolences to Michael & family.

Dear Michael and family, you have my sincerest condolences on the passing of Jane. She was a genuinely lovely lady, and she will always be fondly remembered by me. I am out of the country, so unfortunately, I will not be at her funeral. You are in my thoughts.
