Jane Antoinette Reardon's Obituary
My sweet wife has left us this 19th day of December 2020. Dear Jesus, how can I thank you for her precious company all these years? Truthfully my wonderful wife of over thirty-six years, I am sorry my sweet Jane, but out of gratitude it is time to pour out my heart, in my grief to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Yes Jane brought me to you through University Park United Methodist Church and on to Park Cities Presbyterian Church. She gave me the discipline to read Your Word daily and speak publicly to those who doubted you.
My heart is touched through the love, of this wonderful woman, for all my days and even beyond this life. To Jane's twin sister Jean I would give so much to see you abandon the foolishness of this world and claim our precious savior and Lord Jesus Christ. Here we speak of eternity and Joy beyond bur words to convey them, yes we shed our tears today and claim our victory in Christ tomorrovi, in his loving arms forever.
Jane was a dedicated first grade teacher in Dallas, starting with JNV Ray early on and then at Nancy Moseley Elementary up to her retirement. From there she worked as a substitute in The Richardson Independent School System for over seven years. Jane always considered teaching to be a vocation (Latin vocare or a calling out) and much, much more than simply a job. This she learned this from her mother Anne Yates who was a very fine dedicated teacher for many years in the sixth and seventh grades..We owe her so much and truthfully that debt can never be repaid in this life. A word or two about my former father-in law, Robert Lewis Yates, who was a salesman such as myself. Robert "Bob" Yates worked for Quaker Oats and this is the reason the family relocated for Dallas from Shreveport in the Fifties.
Our lives are stories to be told to anyone who would seriously listen; however, Jesus knows every chapter, so lovingly.
I actually wrote this in October. I think that some of the cancer has come upon her again.
Love Bill Reardon, Senior
