Another year has passed and you are not missed any less than before. I so appreciate all that you taught me and I use the knowledge daily. Thank you.

Mrs. Crane--You were an AWESOME lady! You taught me much about PROVE skills and the library. I wish I had the opportunity to talk to you more as there was so much more I wanted to know. We never got to our conversation on Lithuania as I hoped but someday, when we're together again, you and me and my Dad will be talking up a storm. Thank you for our days at St. Thomas Aquinas High School.

I was thinking about my friend and I see I am 5 years late. I worked with Nijole for 5 years at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Library. She was a special person and played a significant part in my life. We laughed so each day. Eat Well Nijole.

I know I am two years late, but I would like to extend my condolences to the family. My heart is filled with sadness. I just googled Nijole today, trying to find her contacts, which got lost severa years ago, after our last contact, only to find out she is no longer with us.... Nijole was my co-sponsor parent during my swab year at the Coast Guard Academy in 1995-1996. This was an especially tough year for me, coming to a military academy from another country, Lithuania, and meeting with all kinds of difficulties, academic, cultural as well as spiritual... But it would have been even much tougher and much sadder but for Nijole. She helped me every step. She encouraged me, even when I failed and dissapointed. Throughout that years she was like a mother to me, when my family was across the ocean. I am so sad she's gone, but I will always keep the fondest memories of Nijole.

Mrs. Crane was our library at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in New Britain and she was a wonderful lady! She helped me so much in my studies in my PROVE Library Studies. She will be remembered fondly!
