I am so sorry to hear about Ms Jane passing. She was always so kind when I would speak to her at Walmart as she was putting things back where they belonged on the shelf. I had wondered about her many times lately. Prayers for her friends and family. She was a very sweet lady.

When I lived in West Memphis and would shop at WalMart Ms Jane was always a constant ray of sunshine.
Heaven gained that sunshine.

Susan- I will be lifting you in my prayers. So many of my childhood memories included your mom and my Aunt Jean. They had such a special friendship. I was always amazed at their BINGO skills. I loved running into her at Walmart.
Hugs & prayers to you, Michelle
