Jane was one of my all- time favorite people. I loved her and Karl dearly since I was a little boy at First Christian Church in Benton Harbor. She will be greatly missed.

Dear Karl and family, Please accept my sympathy for the passing of your wife/mother. I got to know her while being a companion to another. Karl I know there will be pain in your heart but always treasure the many years you were together. If my dad, Heinz, were still alive I know he would feel the pain as well. May your family remember all the good memories you shared. And always remember that she really isn't gone as long as you remember her....Chris Nails

My dear family, miles separated us but you have always held such a special place in my heart. I treasure the sweetest memories of Mary Jane. Her beautiful spirited love of family, her welcoming home, her tender loving care of those so dear her parents, the trips to Texas and fun as children she so graciously gave each of us treasures to cherish. My sincere condolences to each of you during this difficult time. May God hold you close. Loving you always, Peggy Bell Crow
