Oh, I'm soo sad.

But now she can really talk with our Founders about what's been happening to what happened to the new fraternity they founded in 1904.

I know that Jane is at peace in Chapter Grand, but I feel sorrow for all of us that she left behind. We have lost a piece of of Alpha Gamma Delta history today, and a wonderful sister as well.

Funeral Arrangements
 

The funeral service will be held this Saturday, August 12 at 4pm. The Alpha Gamma Delta Memorial service will be held as a part of the funeral service. There will be no visitation at Jane's request. The funeral service will be held at:

AJ Desmond and Sons
32515 Woodward Avenue
Royal Oak, MI 48073

In lieu of flowers, especially as there is only a funeral service, Jane expressed her desire that memorial contributions be made to the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation, specifically to the Jane A. Graf Scholarship Fund (established by Detroit North Suburban Alumnae Club) or to the SIS grant program. An online giving form is available at https://www425.ssldomain.com/alphaga...ine_giving.cfm.

There will be a gathering of sisters after the funeral service at a nearby restaurant to share fond memories with Jane. A pizza/pasta buffet and cake will be available for $13.00per person. If you are interested in attending, please PM me and I will provide you the contact info for RSVP'ing.

Obituary for Jane
 

A very lovely obituary can be found at http://obit.desmondfuneralhome.com/o...isting=Current.

Please feel free to sign the guestbook too!

It seems like she was invincible. I am very sorry to have to miss her "pizza party" but I know she will be there with you!

Oh...
 

With all the buzz about rush going on, etc., I was just thinking about Jane today and remembering seeing her standing at Convention. That was always a hi-light of Convention or hearing Sisters talk about the count of who had attended the most Conventions.

Godspeed, Jane.

The Memorial Service for Jane was lovely. There was a religious service, a time for people to share some thoughts and memories about Jane and then the Alpha Gam service. Jo Hatch had us recite the Purpose for everybody else there and then said "Now doesn't that sound like Jane?" A woman who was sitting in front of me who was not an Alpha Gam, turned around and said to me "That sounds really special" after we said the Purpose. It was a proud Alpha Gam moment. Among people who shared memories were our IVP-E, several women from the Detroit North Suburban Alumnae Club and one woman who is an advisor now who said that Jane was the Fraternity Education advisor when she was a new member at Alpha Pi. One of the speakers noted especially how Jane touched people across generations and another noted how she exemplified how to be a lady. It was very touching and a beautiful tribute to our sister. I feel honored to have known her.
