Jane was a tremendous lady. She cared about a lot about people and was a very giving kind person. She always had a lot of positive energy and was a true legal scholar who helped open a large amount of doors for a number of young female lawyers as being one of the top corporate lawyer and mentor in the Pittsburgh legal community. She was also a very respected cook, a devoted Steelers fan and most of all a wonderful wife for my dear cousin Leonard.

Leonard, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Jane was one of the kindest, most gracious women I had the pleasure to know. I considered her the sister I never had but always wished for. She was so beautiful both on the outside as well as the inside. She touched my life in extraordinary ways. My heart goes out to you and your family. Jane’s memory will live on in all of us who had the pleasure and honor to know her. You have my heartfelt condolences. Gone but never forgotten. Rest peacefully, my sister.
