What I would give for just one more long lovely day being and talking with Jane .. I miss her more and more and yet as she taught She is with me always.

The entire Teleki family and extended family in Warksworth, Canada send our belated condolences at your loss. It is a loss for all who knew Jane and experienced her beautiful spirit of giving. She leaves behind many treasures in the legacy of her support in the arts and Humanities. She will be greatly missed.

I remember Jane gave her love to all who came within her reach, as I did for a period of time in the 60's. Even though much time has passed, I shall never forget her. She was and will continue to be an inspiration.

What an honor to meet such a beautiful and wonderful lady in Mrs. Owen. On behalf of all of us at the Preferred Hotel Group we cheerish having the New Harmony Inn as one of our treasured independant hotels. I will never forget my initial meeting with Mrs. Owen as it was a step back in time seeing her with her blue flowing dress adorned with a spring hat and holding freshly cut flowers placed in a basket in her arms. I smile at this wonderful image and remember her so fondly. She IS New...

I am very please to have met Ms. Jane once in May 2010 , in New Harmony. I was charmed by her and know the world has lost a friend.

Mrs. Owen was a wonderful person. Her passion for a art was inspirational. I can remember her walking me and my father around New Harmony telling us the history of each newly aquired piece. Her hard work restoring New Harmony will always be appreciated. It is such a beautiful place thanks to Jane. Vickie Stanonis Poynter(The Woodlands, TX)
