Jane’s life was nothing short of remarkable. She married three times, first to Ted, with whom she had 13 children. After Ted’s untimely passing due to cancer, Jane remarried and had seven more children with Bob. Tragedy struck again when Bob was killed in a car accident 12 years later.
Jane’s third marriage to John brought five more children into her life. After a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventure, Jane finally passed away, leaving behind a legacy of 25 children.
At her funeral, the preacher stood before her coffin, offering a heartfelt prayer. He praised Jane’s loving spirit and concluded by saying, “They’re finally together.” This poignant statement sparked a whispered conversation between Ethel and her best friend Margaret.
Ethel leaned in and quietly asked Margaret, “Do you think the preacher means her first, second, or third husband?” Margaret’s response was quick-witted and hilarious. With a sly smile, she replied, “I think he means her legs, Ethel… her legs.” This clever remark brought a much-needed moment of levity to the somber occasion, reminding everyone that even in times of sorrow, humor can be a powerful balm.
