I had a few occasions to get legal counsel from Jane on issues related to contracts, ethics and conflict of interest matters. She was always professional, courteous and compassionate as I remember her. She was truly missed when she retired and now to know she has passed on to eternity, we shall remember her for the many ways she had touched our lives.
Jane was a fabulous attorney and also a wonderful friend. Praying for you all at this time.

To David, Brian, and the Duecaster Family,
She was a great attorney and worked tirelessly for the Corps of Engineers. We are saddened by the loss. May the Lord comfort your family.
Over the course of my career, I had a handful of occasions to need Office of Counsel assistance and developed tremendous respect for Jane’s professional abilities. But even above serving as an excellent attorney, she became a friend. She had a quick mind, a kind word, and a hearty laugh that I will always remember. My condolences to Jane’s family and I hope it helps to know that she made a difference.
