I received an email from Brian, Jane's son, sharing that sadly Jane has passed away in 2014.  He was in the process of going through her computer and email account.  He realized that she was a member of this high school website and he let me know that she always had fond memories of her times at KHS.  He wanted to be sure that classmates/friends would be aware of her passing.  We are always saddened to learn of a classmate passing away but also grateful so that we may reflect the information in a respectful manner.  Rest In Peace Jane.
