Sincere condolences to the family. Jane was a dear lady that I had the privilege to teach with at Icard School for many years.
I have always said Mrs. Broyhill was my favorite teacher. I had her in 3rd grade 60 years ago at Icard Elementary. My condolence to the family!
I am truly sorry to hear of Jane’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Herb and rest of the family. I grew up going to church with Herb and Jane and always thought alot their girls. I never had Jane as a teacher at Icard but she was so humble and godly person. I truly was saddened and heart broken when I first heard the news of her diagnosis. To Herb and the girls, I love you guys very much!!
