Not sure what to say?

Jane,
I just want to say thank you to you and your commitment to my daughter. Five years ago you passed, and my daughter was a freshman in college, as an engineer. Your death touched her and we talked about you in her life. When she was in 2nd grade you told her she could be an engineer, and she never forgot that. Today she is flying, traveling around our country working for a company called Zeiss. When she is in airports she gets out her suduko book and word problems.....she loves...

Dear Stassen Family: I'm so sorry for your loss. Jane was my High Potential instructor years ago at Lincoln Center Elementary in South St. Paul. When I researched the Apollo 11 moon landing for that class in 6th grade, she kept my presentation board... a real honor! :) She gave me a safe place to shine as a person, develop my potential, and be recognized for it. Her kindness and desire to help others will live on in each of you and your descendants. I'm very grateful that she was a part of my...

Jane touched more lives than you'll ever know. Such a beautiful woman inside and out. She truly cared about the kids she served in her career, and fought for their best interests. God bless her loved ones. May you have peace.

I am so sorry for your loss! My daughter was in Janes class many years ago. She was a wonderful teacher and a great inspiration for my daughter who stills talks highly of Jane today! My sincerest sympathies to your family.

I lived in Jane's neighborhood as a kid. She was a wonderful young person. I heard about her accomplishments and contributions as an educator. What a wonderful life to end so young. It is a great loss for her family and friends as well as her community. My deepest condolences to Jane's family. May she rest in peace.

Dear Mark and family,
Please know that even from here in Japan, we are sending our prayers for. Gods peace and comfort during this time. We treasure the nights we spent with you guys in our home, and will miss Jane's ever present smile and big heart. She truly reflected Christ's love to all those around her. Psalm 18:1-2

Dear Joe: I first met Jane when she was my daughter's teacher for High Potential some 15 years ago. I was also lucky enough to have had her for a friend while I worked for the school district. She will be missed and never forgotten. Sincere sympathies to you, your Mom, brother-in-law and all of your families.

My condolences to Mark Stassen, Marie Winkel and all the families. While we were not in touch in recent years, I enjoyed our youthful friendship. It is hard to think she is gone, much too young!
