I've known Jane since 1950. People that were in the Navy and worked in the Navy lived in the Navy Addition. I was like a brother to Jane and Tom and Tom, Jr was like a son. I will miss them. I love both of them. Jane was a fine lady and a super, good friend. Miss you Janey and I love you. Dale

Jane Perry was a wonderful lady who with Tom Sr., produced a wonderful son Tom Jr. Tom Jr. made his mom and dad proud by having a wonderful wife and two great kids (Hillary and Kenon). May this legacy continue through the generations. May God bless and the peace of the Lord be upon you.

Tom, I am deeply saddened by the passing of your precious Mother, Jane. She was a sweet, sweet lady, a Godly woman and a strong role model to so many young girls in Bridge City. She loved you and your family without measure and was so proud of everything you accomplish. I pray God's peace n your sorrow, His blessings on the repose of Jane's soul, and ask that Light Perpetual shines upon her. Fondly, Linda Parker Koonce
