Dear Jayne, we hope you have found your peace at last. We will keep our loving memories of our trip in Africa, of you being our maid of honor some years later and visiting you in Chicago.
Love,
Maurits & Jessica

We are so sorry to hear of Jayne's passing. We met her through a mutual friend and years later when we needed to sell our Chicago home we knew we wanted to work with her. She was smart, savvy, earnest and straightforward - everything you want in a business partner. Plus she was warm and friendly. We thought the world of her. May the memories of her be a blessing to you.

Wayne and Virginia, my heart is breaking for your loss! Jayne was strong and a fighter and just a joy to be around! I was hoping that she would move back to Holland and we would be able to work together! I'm so sad that her life was cut short, but so grateful she is no longer suffering! You loved her so well! Praying peace over your family as you grieve and celebrate her life on earth! All my love, Mary Dykstra

Jayne was a dear friend for many years. We worked together at Russ' South. She was so sweet and had a lively spirit. I have no doubt she is worshiping Our Lord Jesus and enjoying every minute. I look forward to seeing her again someday.
To Jaynes family and other friends... May God's Peace be with you...❤

Jayne was family to us. Our family suffers from multiple move disorder and Jayne was the perfect enabler for all of us. She tolerated all of us piling into her car and traipsing into one real estate place after another. She laughed with us as we judged or praised each seller's home decorating and design. We did marathon showings cramming in 10-15 places in a day! It never slowed her down. She tolerated our crazy ideas and helped bring us back to stability. Most of all, we were so lucky to have her in our lives--her giggle, professionalism, "get things done", flexibility, dependability, and commitment to justice inspired us. We love her. We aren't sure we'll be able to go "shopping" for real estate ever again without our Jayne with us. Our hearts are heavy with grief. Missing you so, Jayne! Mary, Tom and the clan

Jayne was an amazing woman and professional. She was so knowledgeable and I adored speaking to her about music, real estate, travel and so many more topics. Jayne will be missed and rest in peace.

We loved Jayne so much. She guided us through 7 real estate transactions over the years. We already miss her laugh and her energy. She was the giggliest person we knew -- she was so fun to be around! The world is a richer place since Jayne walked in it. Rest in peace Jayne. Love Emily and Luc.
