Sarah you really hit the nail on the head. I've often felt like Aunt Jane was second only to my mom. She loves us no matter what. I always feel special when I am around her. Thanks for posting this.
That was the sweetest post! She is going to love that. And I have to agree that Jane Malone is a one-of-a-kind mother and person. I miss her!
Oh, that made me get all teary. What a great tribute to a really great lady. You're lucky to be related to her.
I love her VERY much! She's got that magnetism about her. You want to be near her, to feel her positive energy. I think that is because of the kind of person she is...kind, loving, giving, funny...and on and on. :) LOVE you Aunt Jane.
Jane Malone. Quite a woman. Thanks for doing this post. I know she'll love it. Everyday I am grateful for her and her unconditional love. We are blessed to have such wonderful examples in our life.

What a wonderful tribute to an amazing woman. She is the most Christ like woman I know. Thanks for putting many of my feelings into words. Love you.
Jane is pretty great. I saw her much less often than you did, but she always made me feel special and important to her. She is wonderful.
