It was one year to the day of our daughter Maria's death that Jane would take her final breath after her battle with ALS. When our 10-year-old daughter, Maria, died suddenly the first night home from the hospital where she had successful surgery, it was Jane who came alongside our family in prayer. She sat in the back of the sanctuary on the day of Maria's funeral and prayed for our family unceasingly. One year later my wife did the same for Jane's family.

Joe,
I read last night of Jane's passing and Leslie and I just stood there in silence. We are heartbroken and sadened at your loss. I still remember the day I ran into the two of you at a mall in Glendale, AZ and your telling me you were expecting your first child. So many memories over several decades. The two of you so impacted me as a new believer while in college. You have had a role in shaping my future, and for that I am deeply grateful to both of you.
All our love, Brian...

Dear Joe,
I cannot believe that Jane is gone. I read about it TODAY in the Alumni news article from CCC. I am so sad for each of you.
I loved her and cannot imagine you without her now. What a team you were/are.
I will plan to write a note soon to your children as I have many fine memories of our days at SCSU and on staff in Az. What a blessing you both were to me there and ofcourse in our early days in St Cloud.
She was a fireball and having read the article that World Wide...

Dear Joe,
I am Barbara Cory Smith a HS classmate of you both. Jane and I were friends and were in the Rockettes together. I remember her high spirits when she had a car accident that injured her knee ( the radio knob went into her knee I believe) and she walked with crutches for a long time. I loved Jane. She was a wonderful person. I am so sad to hear of her early death. I remember when you and she were dating and how crazy she was for you. I know how you miss her! Your...

Dear Joe and family,
My thoughts and prayers have been with you since I first learned of Jane's illness. Our church prayer team was also praying for Jane on a regular basis.
I am so thankful for Jane's influence in my life at the very outset of my Christian walk. She was a shining example of a committed, intentional Christ follower. What an impact she had on so many people by the things she said and by how she lived her life.
I am so glad that the three of us were able...
