I'm so sorry to hear this. I belonged to a mutual art group with Jane - and her art was just gorgeous! I'm so sad for the loss of such a creative spirit. May God bless you.

I knew Jane thru an on-line artist forum. Loved her work. Too young to leave us! Susan

Dear Mike,
Your Jane touched so many lifes via the internet. She was adored by many fellow artists. I heard of her death today from an Estonian artist. She was loved all over the world. She had such talent and compassion. I will treasure the mixed media fiber art that she sent me in August. I have many wonderful emails from her and would love to share them with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Mike,

I discovered these sad news and I want to send my deepest condolence to you.

I met Jane in Etsy and she was one of my loveliest customers. She used my felted flowers in many of her beautiful wallhangings. I enjoyed her art and wonderful, warm and loving nature. In time I started to feel her really close to me.

Yesterday I wanted to say hello to her and discovered that she has gone. It really hurts. I will remember her and her beautiful art forever. Rest in peace, Jane!

Wish you strength and lot of love,

Leina from Estonia

Mike,
We are so grateful to you for sharing Jane with us. To us, Jane will always be "The Duck Lady." She wove herself into the fabric of our lives with her quirky sense of humor, positive outlook, and loving nature. Her threads are the shiny gold ones (with one red bead!) and will forever be with us. We are so grateful for the time we had with her. She made us laugh (Oh, gosh! DID she!). She made the sun shine brighter. And I will never ever be able to look at a bright yellow rubber duck without thinking of her.
God speed, Jane. You made a difference and touched many lives.
Rest in peace.
Love and hugs,
Mare Paselsky

Mike,
I am so very sorry to hear about Janie. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I and both my kids have wonderful memories of Janie and her talent and her unique sense of humor.I think one of the most wonderful things about Jane is that she touched so many lives in such a positive way. She was a wonderful friend and will be missed so very much by so many.
Love,
Lynda Eastman
