We share many fond memories of life on Shelly Road and of the Euchre parties with wonderful friends
As a child, I saw my own beautiful mother in Jane, her sister. Reading these comments, I realize now that was not necessarily because they were sisters; there are other “mom”-comparisons here! It was impossible not to love Jane and our visits to see her and her beautiful family — on the beautiful farm — which could never have happened often enough. We were so lucky to have been a small part of all that and to have had Jane in our own family life.
I have so many wonderful memories of Jane from when I was a young girl as I babysat Jimmy, Mark, Anne, and Paula. She took me down to Paul De Martini’s to help me buy my first hula hoop with my earnings. Thank you for sharing the news of her passing with all of us who shared some part of her life. Love to you all
My sincere condolences to Mrs. Schuster’s family and friends.
Growing up, Jane was one of the Big Tree moms that watched over us all. I have many fond memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Jane was my second mom growing up. I’m so sorry for your loss and I am sending love and hugs to the whole family.
I remember your Mom every Sunday morning at St Joseph’s in Livonia. She was a lovely lady and had in tow all her little boys and girls who were always dressed up the little girls with bonnets!I hope all her loved ones find joy in their memories.
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Schuster. I have fond memories of playing in the barn and waiting for the bus on the front porch.
Condolences to the whole Schuster clan. May Jane find peace in her jeavenky home. May you find peace in your shared memories.
Family your mom was a great person we had good timesShe was a wonderful woman
