You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I haven't been able to write in the guest book because I wanted to keep thinking that perhaps my baby sister was still alive and I had just not heard from her...that she was busy with Nile and Pascal. I miss her so very dearly!!!! Every Christmas, Valentine's Day, Birthday I keep wanting her joyful presence.

If you love someone...they live always in your heart.
I loved my Aunt Jane so very much!
I remember fun times with her and Nile and my Mom at the Zoo, spending the night with her and Nile at Nana's, swimming up at Papa's pool, going to Disneyland with her and Nile, staying at her apartment and so many other happy memories...I miss her already and treasure each little thing she ever gave to me. She would always send me great and zany gifts...a wild little purse, purple suede shoes,...

I only knew Jane as a teenager at Lincoln High School and thought she was fun and funny and smart then; I only wish I could have known her as an adult. I am shocked and saddened at the news of her death, and send my condolences to the rest of her family. I smile when I remember her as a classmate at Lincoln.

As a fellow Lincoln High grauate I would like to express my sincere sadness at the passing of a wonderful lady. May memories of Jane go on an on through her family, her friends, and her jewelry.
