JANE’S STORY

A believer | pattern maker | cancer survivor.
What makes this piece more meaningful now is that Jane shares such faith in God that through her cancer he would have glory. Jane passed away a few months after the production. This film played at her memorial service and yesterday at her church’s service. It’s a special thing to have her faith live on through this small piece.
Be encouraged from it. When you are in a tough place, hang in there, have faith.
