I remember the first day Jane walked into my life. Our first day of College. We became instant friends. We both went on to receive Masters in Library Science. When she introduced me to Bruce I knew they were meant for each other. Jane was my bridesmaid and my daughter Sarah and I were honored to stand up for her wedding. We kept up on each others life through year end letters. Do not put off till tomorrow telling your friends how much they mean to you. I love you Jane! Love, hugs and prayers Bruce, Kate, Ian & Tim and Jane's sisters. Love Kay

Because we live in two different states, I have only had the pleasure of meeting Jane twice. Both times were in 2014 when her daughter, Kate married my son, Ian. However, we communicated by email extensively for wedding preparations. Later, Jane and I kept up our emails as we discovered that we both had a love for the same genre of books. So, we would share the books we were reading and offer recommendations. Well of course I could not keep up with Jane. I may have stated, Hey this is a good book. Jane would follow with a detailed list of books I would enjoy, the premise of a book and what I would appreciate about a certain book. Of course she was right. Her emails were always so eloquent. She never elaborated about her suffering and treatments even when asked. She just stated the facts. She was a much stronger and braver person than her image portrayed. I will miss my correspondence with Jane and give my prayers and condolences to Jane's family, especially to Bruce.
With love Denise
