“Jane was an incredible person and an exceptionally talented writer,” said Antonia Ehlers, San Francisco Press Club Vice President. “She inspired all of her friends in the San Francisco Press Club.

Our hearts go out to her children, family and close friends. Jane will never be forgotten; she will be deeply missed by her friends and family.”

“More people should be like Jane,” said Curtis Sparrer, the president of the San Francisco Press Club.  “You should have seen her face when we recognized her with a lifetime achievement award six months ago.  I have never seen someone looked so proud, so optimistic.  As a board member Jane impressed us all with being a relentless force of positive energy – no matter what she was facing.  Jane was a light, a role model.  She will be missed.”
