JANE E. KLEINMAN

I knew Jane in Lincoln City, OR. She claimed I was her first Critter Comfort and Care customer, although I think I don't quite deserve that honor. However, she saw me and my pets through two accidents and many trips to Portland, plus many hours spent watching movies together at our local theaters. She was kind, compassionate, a great friend and loved my pets almost as much as I did! Unfortunately, I moved away and lost contact, but I remember her very fondly.

I had the privledge of being hired to work at Critter Cottage, where I met Jane and became close friends with her. I learned alot about working with dogs because of the opportunity I received from her.

I enjoyed watching her act and sing at the local theater, she had a beautiful voice. My thoughts go out to her family.

I was so sorry to hear of Jane's passing. She was my colleague and friend at Ransom Everglades School for many years. We all enjoyed her productions and so appreciated her talent and hard work. She will be greatly missed.

Jane was responsible for bringing first my wife, Piper, then me and our daughter, Carrie, into the Ransom Everglades family which we were an active part of for almost 20 years. For that I am so grateful. I will always cherish her memory as a respected theatre colleague....and as a dear friend.

Every time I think of Ms. K I smile. Loved working backstage with her! My sincerest condolences to her family.

Jane had a knack with animals. She was wonderful with my dogs when they boarded there. We will miss her!

I am so sad to hear the news of Jane's passing. We were classmates at the University of Miami. I remember Jane as a kind person who lived life to its fullest. She leaves many behind who will miss her.

I am so sad to hear of Jane's death. I knew of her struggle and how optimistic she was throughout her courageous battle.

We became close friends while she was teaching theatre at Ransom Everglades and continued seeing each other until she moved to Oregon. I recall doing summer theatre with her at the Ring Theatre and will treasure all the wonderful memories of this wonderful, fun loving and gifted lady. My condolences to the Kleinman family. You have lost a treasure.

I enjoyed having Jane as a colleague, and LOVED her voice. I am sad that the world has lost a great teacher but am heartened that Jane's legacy will live on. Her students' testimonials are proof that Ms Kleinman modeled Yeats' view that "education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire" - her flame lives on. My thoughts are with all who knew and loved her.
