JANE O'KEEFE

Jane was truly a special soul. She was our trusted therapist for many years and helped to save our marriage. My husband, Victor and I loved her. I am so sorry for her family and friends.

Jane was exceptional in many ways: uplifting, thoughtful, mischievous, and creative. We had some wonderful times together, and I miss her good company-even if it were only a phone conversation something fine transpired. During one of my own rough times, she would offer her house for a weekend even if she could not be there. So, I will always be grateful for her friendship and mourn the loss of her special character.

I met Jane through Dan Moriarty over twenty years ago. We became friends quickly. We just got each other. Jane was funny, compassionate and loyal. Jane was a great help and support to me when I lost my partner. Jane was one of the kindness people I have ever met. She was a sterling lady! Jane was a gift to all of us!

Jane did some interior design work for me around 1981. I have been so happy with what she did. I thought I would update a few things and was saddened to find that she is no longer with us on this earth. I wish that I had had a chance to tell her how much I have enjoyed what she did so I am passing this on to her family and friends who might read it so they may know how much her talent is appreciated by one relatively small client.

The minute I heard that Bonnie was in hospice care at her Manhattan apartment, I e-mailed her nephew Michael a letter for her, which she may or may not have seen. A week later, then in possession of her new (to me) address, I sent her another version of that letter. The NYT obituary let me know that that letter got to her too late. I hadn´t seen Bonnie since the late 1980s and knew her well only in college summers in Cape May between 1960 and 1964. But I´ve thought about Bonnie often, no,...

I met Jane years ago through a friend and she was amiable and real in nature at the same time, she would say it like it is and being were both Irish we knew how to be ourselves in our company, i went to her house in clinton corners and we would sit on the porch to talk and laugh and enjoy her home. May she rest in peace and be creative in heaven....with her long red scarf fashionably flowing....

I will always remember her way of pulling up a chair and saying "Have a seat, Doll." that made you feel her warmth and genuine friendship enveloping you. I miss you, Jane.

What a beautiful amazing life ! She left a stamp on the of many .. lifting up all of those whose heart and life she touched
