Emma Jane was the BFF of my sister, Marie. She was either at our house or we were picking up my sister from hers! I was the little sister that hung around!! For the first two years of my high school time, Jane picked my sister and I up each morning and brought us home in the afternoons. She would be part of St. Mary's drill team with us and would later become Drill Team Captain her senior year. On to Austin and UT as my sister's roommate at Jester! By mid term, Jane was to return home and marry a long time family friend and Aggie, Brad Arsenault! So many memories of growing up! When our father died at 55, Jane and Brad would check on Mom. When Brad passed away, Mom and Jane shared the loss of a loving husband called too soon. Mother loved Jane like a daughter too. St. Mary's Church is where I saw Jane when visiting Orange. We would catch up quickly. I hoped to see her in January when Mom and I returned for a Catholic daughter function. The rain and a difficult day kept her from attending. Jane's faith was very strong. So, I know Jane is reunited with Brad. I know she is free from all suffering and I know the choir of Angels came to greet her and took her to paradise. Thank you Jane for the wonderful memories, the laughter, the kidding around, the sharing of joys and the sorrows in our lives. Thank you for allowing this little sister to be part of the fun! I can hear your voice and feel the hug! I love and miss you. Rest in peace dear friend. To Aaron, Tina, grandchildren and god children and to sister Carolyn...I know Jane loved you all very much. Continue to love and care for each other until you are reunited with her again. May God grant you comfort and peace. We send our sincere sympathy to each of you. Patty Timberlake Willis and family

As most know, Jane and I were joined at the hip from Middle School through High School and College. We told each other EVERYTHING...and planned our weddings long before they happened! Being separated after her marriage to the love of her life, Brad, made no difference in the friendship. We could re-connect in a second. Jane, I will love you and miss you the rest of my life. But, it's such a comfort to know that you are reunited with Brad and that your broken body is now that of an angel. Pray for me in heaven. To Carolyn, Aaron, Tina and Jane's grandchildren...love each other as she loved you. I love you always Jane, Marie
