Not sure what to say?

God bless Jane for she was the kindest, most articulate, and dearest woman one could ever hope to meet. I knew Jane in high school, and I will tell you she was a gifted writer even then. I admired Jane's sense of humor and adored her lust for life. Jane was that hippie, earth mother who could make you feel safe and loved. We lost touch through the years, but I will always remember her. It is an honor and a priviledge to have called her my friend.

Bill,
Michele Burger from your KXAN past here. I just found out about Jane. I am so, so sorry for your loss. Jane was a such a good person, wife and mom. She will truly be missed by all who knew her. You and your boys are in my thoughts.

To the Orcutt Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I only knew Jane through her books (which I loved) and one very nice email she sent me after a note I sent to her. The Fugitive Heart and the Hidden Heart were my favorites and I am really going to treasure reading "All The Tea In China". May God's big arms comfort you all during this very difficult period. She will be greatly missed.

To Mr.Bill Orcutt,
I'm so sorry for your loss and you and your family arre in my thoughts and prayers. Proverbs 3:5 says "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths."

Dear Hooks and Orcutt Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember playing hide and go seek and night in the front yard with the Gaddy Girls and the boys next door. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless all of you.

Dear Bill, Colin, and Sam,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Jane and I worked together at PPC over 16 years ago and I still remember the wonderful conversations we used to have. I will never forget her kindness and caring spirit. She was truly one of a kind!

My prayers are with you and your family. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything.

You are in our prayers and remember...
Jesus said: "Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid. You have heard me say to you, 'I am leaving, but I will come back to you.'"
JOHN 14:27-28

I am a childhood friend of Jane's, and I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers will be with your family, her parents and Kay's family.
