  1. Marguerite & Frank Owens says:

    Our lives have been happier and more fun from
    having Jane and Dabney as friends since the late
    1940’s, before either of us were married. Knowing they are together again is comforting. They have left us with wonderful memories, and
    will be missed terribly. We loved them so much.

  2. Paul & Shirley Hartl says:

    We are sorry for your loss.
    We were really blessed to have known Jane and Dabney for the short time that we did.

  4. Jan Buchanan says:

    Jane was a delight as a Wednesday Girl, one of us docents at the Atlanta History Center who volunteered on Wednesdays. We always checked Jane’s calendar first when we planned outings because her schedule was the busiest. Please know how fondly we remember her and accept our condolences. Jan and Clyde
