Howard, Davd, Alan and Molly,
I was saddened to read today of Jane's passing last Fall. Such a remarkable woman with immense love for her family, friends and the islands.
The last time I saw Jane was in 1999 when my family vacationed in Kailua. We saw you, David, and met your kids, when you all came to dinner. And your mom, generous as ever, loaned us a surfboard for our kids to try out. So much aloha! She also was the one to share news with me of the tragic accident that took Rae and Link Lindquist from this earth. Blessings to the family on your loss and to Jane on her eternal journey! Aloha, Doug
