Jane, a life well-lived. She shared her friendship and talents easily. She will be missed by family and friends and especially those in Coppell, on the Cape and all of us long-time friends from Friendswood. Her talents will be ongoing through the students she taught.
A lovlier woman, I have never known. Her kindness and generosity are unmatched. I consider myself among the lucky ones for having known Jane. I so enjoyed my time with her-whether inside or out! I’ll miss Jane greatly and always. She was such a true, good friend. And now the lovely angel has her wings! Much love for her and to her caring family.
Dearest Tindall Family,
We are terribly sad and sorry to hear about our precious friend, Jane. Knowing her was one of the highlights in our lives, and she will be very missed. I pray that all of you with have strength and courage as you continue on with your own lives. As anyone who knew Jane would know, she would want this. We love all of you.
Jane was a wonderful friend to all. She was always positive and gracious and everyone loved her. She will be missed by her many friends and family.
I knew Jane through the FUMC Thursday Reading Group. She was always so pleasant and had truly insightful comments. Jane was a jewel who loved and encouraged so many.
Thankful, grateful and blessed to have shared so many years of friendship with Jane, I will truly miss her wisdom, kindness and laughter! And my annual luncheon to have a lobster roll with her in Orleans.❤️❤️❤️
