Jane was a special lady. Many, many years ago when growing up in Parkesburg, "Mrs Ely" was my girl scout leader. As years went by, she became a customer where I was employed and when we talked about the good old days, she always said"Well Bless Your Heart", a favorite saying of hers to all who touched her life.
