I read with distress the recent tribute to Jane Jacobsen after her passing (“Community activist Jane Jacobsen dies at 72,” The Columbian, May 25). I worked with Jane during the late 1990s on community issues and was captivated by her commitment, her integrity, and just her all-around being and sincerity. She was a great pleasure to be with, and she was always upfront, no hidden agenda, no negativity; just the desire to make things better for the community. Vancouver has suffered a tremendous loss and my heart goes out to her family and the community. We are richer for her life, poorer in her passing. She was a good person.
