Albert and Alex was so sad to read about your moms passing when I visited her in the nursing home we talked about everything under the sun but mostly family and times we spent together at the store. She was one special lady and will be missed by everyone who knew her. Prays to you both.
So sorry to hear about Jane. Loved Jane – Such a fun and fabulous woman – always making everyone feel welcome. Our Mary Kay Cosmetics Unit loved her presence and infectious laugh at the Queensbury Hotel for many years. Sympathies to the entire family. What a legacy of love!!
Sorry to hear of Jane’s passing. Myron is my 2nd cousin once removed. (through Bancroft and Holley Line) I knew Kate and Clyde Sanborn who lived next to my father. I worked with Clyde and Kate at Mt. Mc Gregor C. F.. I never met Jane but wish I had since I knew most of the Story family. God Bless those who carry on her memory. Charles R. Willis
