Mrs. Jane has been a joy to know since my childhood and upbringing through Ferry Field Baptist Church. Always an encourager, I enjoyed seeing her exalt God like only she could and set the church ablaze in worship! I will miss her heartfelt hugs, "I love you's", and her smile/wink when she was pleased with our service to God throughout different church ministries. There will never be another gem like her but I have some solace knowing she's resting in the arms of God, hallelujah. My prayers and love are with The Simmons family.
