I did not know Jaine but I am a friend of Kay and Len. Reading about her life interests and accomplishments I am impressed and would have liked to know her. One thing I know is she raised a lovely, intelligent, accomplished daughter – good job, Jaine. Rest in peace.

I did not have the privilege of meeting Jaine myself, but was blessed deeply with the friendship of her daughter Annie during my young adult years. It is no small thing to raise 7 children, and the impact that those lives have had in this world is significant! Annie and I even had the opportunity to invest one of our summers in building a retreat center in Costa Rica that still exists today.
Wishing your family the peace of Christ in the days and years ahead.
