Not sure what to say?

Our grandmother was one of a kind. I am amazed to see some of her in her great grandchild Sophia Conneen and hope our daughter, little snow pea, grows up to be much like Grandma Jane. We will forever miss you and always love you. Your Grandkids Conneen,

I just re-read my entry and smiled when I realized I'd written, "Little House Farm" - I could never keep the name straight. Many times I stayed with Jane and Joe and, come morning, I was anxious to go to what I called the "Little House" - Jane's enchanting studio. For me it was, and apparently always will be, Little House Farm.

Another little house is what brought us together. Jane adored the dolls' house originally belonging to her mother. During nearly a decade of living in Japan, I...

In the 1970s I met Jane through the mail while I was living in Japan; we corresponded regularly for years. Finally, in the 80s I was able to meet her and stay at Little House Farm. I hold dear her friendship and her zest for art and life; it is an honorable goal to live up to her standards. Jane painted many pictures; best of all is the one about how to live a rich, loving, and creative life.

We only met Jane several months ago and were amazed by her artisitc talents and enthusiasm for her work. Our sympathy to her family and friends on the sad loss of this special woman.

I felt so blessed to have known Jane, if only through the e-mails, letters, and other correspondence we exchanged over the past year. From the beginning, I could tell she was an extraordinary person, one whom I would thoroughly enjoy both in personality and intellect. Indeed, she was all that. I always looked forward to hearing from her. Whatever she said made me smile. All of it was wonderful.

She was so helpful and encouraging in my effort to fulfill my life long dream:...

Mom was a remarkable woman, with more zest for life than anyone I've ever known. She was a passionate and very talented artist, doing something creative for as long as I can remember. And she loved to travel, making new friends everywhere she went. Many of her minature books originated from her travel diaries and photos. She wanted to do so many more things, she hated to waste time sleeping. We will miss her terribly, especially after the loss of Dad last Summer. There is a hole in our hearts

We knew Jane for many years. I loved having lunches with her, visiting her and Joe at the Little Farm in Bath, and, especially, her wonderful artwork. She is greatly missed. Our sympathy to her family.

Aunt Jane will be remembered by our family as a gentlewoman with a
wonderful passion for her art. She was a "keeper" of family records and together with Uncle Joe kept the Conneen family history alive for the next generation of this family.
We were blessed with her joy.

Although I did not know Jane, I was fortunate enough to know her wonderful daughter Mimi. In 1986 I was an art education student teacher at the Allentown Art Museum, under the direction of Mimi. We kept in touch after that and I always felt a special fondness for her.
After reading her mother Jane's obituary, it was easy for me to see that they were mother and daughter. Two lovely women.
