He pastor, the Rev. Donald W. Cryer, said in part, in his eulogy Sunday, these words about Miss Bennett. "Jane was a girl of quality. I have never known a finer one. She was sincere and always striving for perfection. She was most cooperative, loyal, generous, sympathetic, very kind. In all her recent suffering she was unbelievably patient. So we come to know what Emerson meant when he wrote, 'As God lives, what is excellent is permanent.' So many of us, and our town shall forever be richer since she has been here."
