Read MoreI´m often reminded of Jane when we go out to breakfast at a local place. The smallish room is set in an old barn. The farm windows, wood floors farm-house feel bring back memories of the Dickenson family. I wish I´d had more time to get to know Jane. I always appreciated her way of seeing, and getting to the heart of things and people.

Remembering Mrs Dickinson in her home, cooking eggs and bacon for who ever was there and it seemed like many people came to the farm. It was a home of joy filled with singing, art, knitting, humor, food, cats, a dog.
In assisted living when I visited Jane she was as sharp as ever. She made me laugh, and helped me see things more clearly.
I feel lucky and grateful to have known her and the joy she brought to my family.
