Jane was our vicar from 1997 to 2009.

The obituary does not mention all her many ministries, one of which was beautiful handwoven textiles for the lectern and pulpit and stoles for the priests. She was loved by many and she loved back.

She blessed us in so many ways. Thank you Good Lord for her presence among us.
