I am totally shocked to see that Jane has passed. I grew up in the neighborhood with Jane and her family and spent much going back and forth between houses. To the Forystek and Destache families, you have my deepest sympathy. Barbara (Jacobs) King

So sorry to hear of your lose, just a few months ago I found out your Dad passed, was going to contact Jane but..i'm old when the thought came to mind it was either to early or late in the day. My gosh i'll never forget her roar of laughter, she was always a joy to be around and speak with her, so witty and always had a smile on her face. and such a positive attitude. I know she has been suffering for years. but still had that roar :) My Dad and I when Jane called for Charlene on the phone( in high school)we both would crack up and talk an talk with her it didn't take long to figure out who called you could tell by our reaction, what a sweetheart. I still remember when I turned 18 Jane an my sister took me out to the pawow club oops that's right she's a grandma now :) rest in peace my old friend, say howdy to your folks, Lenny, an Ron!!

To the Destache Family - Sorry to hear about the Passing of Jane. I worked in the insurance department at Schneider for several years, and she called quite often on different things for Lenny when he was an IC. She was always a friendly lady to talk to, and I've often wondered how She and Lenny were doing - I actually only live about a block away in Ashwaubenon. Anyway, sorry to hear they have both passed-away; however, they're in a better place than we are. God Bless You all at this difficult time.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
