Jane Straus

I just learned Jane left this world today. I so sad to learn this. She helped me tremendously and gave me tools to live a better life. Jane lives on in all of us which she touched.

Crushed to read of Jane's passing. She was a force of nature. She literally saved my life, and her grammar side would want me to state that I mean literally in the truest sense of the word. She was a light to many who she coached and will not be forgotten.

I miss you very much, Jane. You were and are a great inspiration to me! JPS

I'm from Malaysia. I was shocked to read about her only today as I was searching for her book, The Blue Book Of Grammar And Punctuation 'which she gave me as a free gift when I told her that I couldn't afford to pay in US dollars. She was so kind-hearted & sent me a free copy! I received the book sometime ago I think in 2006/2007. I was searching for the book today & found it this afternoon. I was searching online for her email when I suddenly read about her passing away. It so saddened my...

I still think of Jane with a heavy heart. But remembering her father and daughter, whom I had the opportunity to teach, brings a smile. I wonder and care about their lives, and I wish them well, and grace.

Jane Straus was a positive and philanthropic magnate. Her intellectual insight enpowered my literary discipline. She is sorely missed. God rest her loving soul.

We posted her articles on our blog on WhiteSmoke, it was an honor and a privilege and she will be terribly missed by us and our readers

I did not know Jane personally, but I subscribe to her Blue Book of Grammar site. I am deeply saddened by her death; she was much too young. God Bless you, Jane. Rest in peace.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have known Jane. Apart from her wonderful 'work' just being with her, experiencing her presence was inspiring in and of itself. Diane Kern
