Jane O'Gorman

I still miss you, Jane. So often I think of you and the times we had together...sledding at the public golf course over the moguls the young guys had made. Trying to prove we could still keep up. Limping into Sunday evening church that night because we´d ruined our backs, proving we could not keep up!! Taking Jessie, April and her brother Antwon out to eat. Oh, I miss you Jane.

Claudia just sent me Jane´s obituary. I am so so sorry. My memories of her are mostly from our childhood. Since our dads worked together at Fredricks Drugstore our paths crossed frequently and she was special even as a child. So sweet, sincere and kind. I still think of her as a young girl and I find it extremely difficult to believe that she has passed. She is in gods hands now and reunited with her loving parents. I´m sure Rog and Dot have been watching her grow and develop into the...

I want to express my deepest condelences to Jane's family and friends as they grieve her loss. I only met Jane a handful of times through my aunt, who is Charles Wrede's wife. But Jane always left an impression of kindness, fun, and charm every time I met her or talked with her. She was so friendly, outgoing, and accepting, and when she spoke to you she made you feel like the most important person in the room. I was incredibly saddened to hear of her passing, and her family and friends...

As I sit here at my desk watching the celebration of Jane's life from Honduras, from the corner of my eye I can see a little metal cabin long bereft of the syrup which it once held. Jane sent it to me years ago because I once said I wanted to live in a little cabin in the woods! That was Jane. She made each of us feel like we were her best friend. She faithfully gave to the ministry God called me to every single month no matter what. She filled out lives with laughter and love. I count myself...

Dear Family, Please accept our deepest sympathy. Jane was an amazing lady. I (Beth) worked with Jane at the Joy House. She was a joy to work with and had such a wonderful sense of humor. Dan also worked with Jane in several capacities, and agrees she was a very special lady. We are praying for God´s comfort and strength to envelope you all.

Darling Jane: It's been so long since your brother and I were friends in college. But I remember your family well-you, Charlie, Mary, your Mom and Dad, and all five of your aunts-Irmgard, Hildegard, Lila, Viola and Esther. They would play a game ... challenge me to tell them apart! I remember, also, how they loved you dearly. Likewise, it´s clear that you touched many lives with your love, kindness and friendship-and the Wrede sense of humor. I´m pleased that you found Casey, and your souls...
