Not sure what to say?

Jane was a classmate and my connection with Omaha when reunion time came. A lovely and good person. I have just learned of her death and I offer my condolences to all her family.

We had such lovely chats when we encountered each other while I was out walking. So interesting, so invested in the well being off others, and often, so funny, people like Jane don't come along every day. She will surely be missed.

What a lovely tribute to Jane by St. John's. We were so grateful to be able to participate by live streaming. We were so impressed by the lovely eulogy. It truly captured her. We only wish we could be there with you, Jim. We will see you in the Spring. Love to you Jim, Jimmy, Meghan, Nan and families. Love from all the Milleas.

We worked together to teach GED. Jane so enjoyed helping people get their GED. I miss our work together. She made such a difference in people´s lives, including my own.

Jane helped me as I began teaching for OPS and realized the children needed books at home. This amazing woman came to my classroom and brought enough books for each child to choose and take home 5 books of their own! What a thoughtful, caring person! I can only imagine the book clubs she will hold in heaven. God Bless you Jane.

Jane, My heart is filled with great sadness as you leave us, but joy for your release into peace. Though we weren't able to share a real 'goodbye', I am deeply grateful for your gifts of strength, intelligence, courage, insights, love, compassion, understanding and presence to me during our life journeys together. Thank you... THANK YOU!

Mrs. Jane was loved by many! She taught me a lot while working at Creightons GED center.
