My mother, Amy (Melkonian) Conroy, was Jane's childhood best friend. I only met Jane a few times myself once they, thankfully, reconnected before Amy's own death in 1999. My mother always said that Jane's smile was the undisputed best she'd ever seen - it could light up your heart on your worst day. The best, most memorable to me, story about her that Mom ever told was something about which they swore each other to secrecy forever at the time... When they were young kids, Jane made my mother actually wet her pants with laughter while walking home from school. So embarassing to child! but such a wonderful indicator of the kind of person Jane was, even as a little kid :D. I share this now because I think I'm the only one who knows it and I want Jane's family to know that JOY and LAUGHTER was her legacy in my family, and I'm sure many others. I am so sorry to have just heard about the loss of such an amazing person. I will always carry my mother's fond memories of her with me.
