To our dear Aunt Jane - From the time I was a little girl, you were always a big part of our family. I remember you comparing me to "Eloise" when I was 6 and reading those books (Eloise lived at The Plaza Hotel in NYC and was always getting into trouble). Through thick and thin, you were there. With your own 3 children scattered around the country, the Shermans became your "immediate family". We celebrated every holiday, every family milestone, every simcha together - you were always part of our "mishpacha". Family traditions like going to "The Hill" or playing the "Name Game" will not be the same anymore. Amy and Skip's children grew up knowing the generous and thoughtful "Aunt Jelly Bean" and loved your doting attention. As you affectionately called me "Josephine", we had many special moments of our own - from attending plays together to our recent tradition of holding "Ladies Lunches" during the holidays. You were kind and good to your many friends and will be sorely missed by them as well. I am glad you are finally at rest from the difficult months of your illness. Love, "Josephine" - Marcia's daughter and your niece
