Dear French family, I am so terribly saddened to hear about your loss. I hope that in this tough time you will all seek comfort in each other, and that your pleasant memories of your loved one, perhaps now bittersweet, will soon be restored to you as a source of hope, and joy. All my love to you.
Dear Paul and Jenni and family: My deepest condolences on the loss of your mom this past week. My prayers are with you all. Michele Smith, Church Administrator, FBC of Wallingford.
Jane will be dearly missed from St Rita’s Church. Both her and Nelson were so active in all aspects of parish life. Their presence were lights to us all and the world is a little bit darker without them.

My heart is heavy for each of you. It is good to think on all this from her, God’s and the heavenly perspective. It is good to not just ask why her earthly life had to end now, but also why God created her and we all have been blessed by God through her. It is good to think of her welcome party into heaven and all the many present and joyous with her. Be assured of my and many others’ prayers calling on God’s promise to comfort you who mourn. Do share this time of grief, that it may be lessened. Do share all the times of joy, that they may be multiplied.
Sending our deepest sympathy to the French Family. May God be with you and remember your Mom is a beautiful Angel in heaven watching down on us. She left behind her loving family who will always keep her memories close to their hearts

My most sincere condolences on your lost. I’ve know Jane for many years thru Beazley then Press & Cuozzo and then personally when we would meet for lunch with another good friend. Jane was always such a loving, caring person who was so well loved by all. She will be missed by many including myself.
Paul, Dan and Stephen – my condolences on the passing of your Mom. I still have vivid memories of your mom (and dad) at Bassett Field and in gyms around town while growing up. You are in my prayers during this difficult time.

To the entire French Family, I am sending my sincere condolences at this time of loss. As I message to Paul French the other evening, I know that Jane is at peace with Nelson and will now be watching over the family as a guardian with a Divine perspective! Love NEVER dies and stays locked in our hearts! Auntie Jane worked hard on this earth and now rests with The Lord in Heaven! Amen

Steve and family, my sincerest condolances on the loss of your Mother
Hi Dan and Family, I am so sorry to hear about your mom’s passing and sorry I was unable to make the services. I have fond memories of her at St. Rita’s church. She was a passionate, spirited and lovely woman. (she and your dad are in each others arms again) I will keep you and yours in prayer, Dan. God bless always.
Dear Paul and Jenni, We were both sorry to hear of Paul’s mother’s passing. While this is such a sad time of loss, sometimes it might also help to think about Jane actually meeting Jesus a little sooner than the rest of us! We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Blessings to you and yours during this time of family transition. Fondly, Linda and Tom
To All Her .Boys. and Families We both are so sad to hear of Jane’s passing. She was a wonderful person. We will miss her e-mails to us about her family and .The Lord. which were so important to her. It was great for us when we went up to Ct and saw her a couple of years ago. Our sympathies are sent to you all.
To the French family…Your Mother had a wonderful life filled with a deep love for her family and a strong faith in God. She was such a good friend and I will miss her deeply.
