    Funny that she's the opposite from most women who buys birkin bags as a symbol of status, luxury and wealth. She's humble, natural, far from pretentious, she was just amazing and iconic.

      To lose a child cuts deeply and never heals completely. The parent who adored that child will never again know true happiness. I know. I lost my beloved daughter through a freak accident almost 5 years ago. Not long after I lost my dad and lost dad not long after my mother. I'm 70 now and the tears still come sometimes.

    Ive been a huge fan of Jane since I was in my tweens I always admired her bubbly and outgoing personality. It really breaks my heart that she felt that she lost her confidence after her daughter passed. Even her zodiac sign excudes a natural confidence from another pair of lenses. It really shows that the pain of losing a child forever sticks with you. I can’t even imagine the whole world knowing about it and consistently asking questions regarding such an emotional wound. R.I.P to Jane. She was a very humble woman from what we can see I wish I was able to see her live at least once. My forever icon, fly high 🤍🕊️

      The world most desirable Hermes bag has her name on it, because she accidentally complained about can't find a bag which keeps things together on her flight, the designers of Hermes happened to sit next to her..
      Her daughter Charlotte sounds, looks just like her, and I have her CD & Serge Gainsberg songs

    Thanks from Paris. I'm feel so sad since Sunday. I didn't expect to be touched like this. Is maybe a part of my ideal who left few days ago. Is like someone of my family who died. Maybe because is the reflect of my family life.... Merci pour tout Jane, j'aurais tant voulu mieux vous connaitre...
