Jane Goodall

A gift was recently made to Angels of Assisi in memory of Jane Goodall from Stephen Agren 2918 Carolina Ave SW, Roanoke, VA 24014-3204

To the family, many, many friends and colleagues of this wonderful a primatologist and woman Ms. Jane Goodall fine comfort with you during this difficult time in your lives. Ms. Jane Goodall was a primatologist who brought the world a new understanding of the chimpanzee - and prompted us to reexamine the dominance of humans in the process. We will miss Ms. Jane Goodall's presence and her many contributions to her community and she was a champion of animal welfare. May the love and the special memory you shared and cherish with her show just how much your life was touched by her. May you find comfort in your wealth of fond memories together with Ms. Jane Goodall. May the God of comfort bless your grieving hearts with strength, loving kindness and peace as the world copes with the loss of Ms. Jane Goodall. She will be greatly missed, but not forgotten.

How I wish I could have told her in person of my admiration for her. May she be blessed and remembered for all time. I shall continue to help animals in my own small way.

I will always treasure that Jane read, believed and endorsed my children's book- BUGS THAT LOVE! The Amazing Western Conifer Seed Bug (& Shield Bugs Too!). I shared the same belief as Jane did, that all creatures matter and we need to take care of them, each other and this planet.

I send you my heartfelt condolences and sympathy at this difficult time. Ms. Jane Goodall will be missed by all who loved her. She is famous for her groundbreaking research on chimpanzees, documenting their use of tools and their complex social lives, and she was a renowned conservationist. She appreciated animal creation and was an advocate for animal welfare. Ms. Goodall´s lifelong dedication to research and conservation earned her many accolades/honors; organizations all over the world recognized her decades of work.

Treasure your good memories and may they bring you some comfort. God is close to the brokenhearted, and He will comfort you. He will give you the strength to cope. May Ms. Jane Goodall rest in God's memory, knowing he will not forget the good works she has done. May prayers strengthen you and God´s loyal love always comfort and sustain you. -Psalm 23

I admired her dedication to and work for the animals, particularly chimps. She taught us a lot.

One day she is going to enjoy seeing these magnificent animals again. Imagine the joy she will have. I have learned so much from her life´s work! I have enjoyed watching her with her fur family, and how much they loved her.

She was a great scientist, and a natural one at that. Her scientific observations early in her career proved to be indispensible to later generations of scientists. She was a beautiful woman with a kind heart. May she reside in heaven. God bless her always.

There are no words which can describe how much you have meant to me and the impact on how I have seen the world. Even as a little boy observing animal behavior you could see that you were not looking at an empty shell. It´s humans who have missed out on not seeing what animals offer to our world. I fear that when you are stuck living within the parameters of individuals comprehension skills they will never understand what this gift we have be given will ever mean.

Thanks dear Jane, your Wisdom and Courage is an example for all off us! Your Love and Energy last forever!!!

Condolences to her family

I´m so sorry for your loss. She was the most amazing humanitarian and ambassador for the natural world. The world is so much sadder without her calm and loving voice to guide us. RIP Jane.

Jane Goodall was an inspiration to many people, myself included. Her work with chimpanzees, as well as her kindness to people earned her the admiration of the world.

What a fantastic way to have lived your life.

I have nothing really to share. I do have a whole lot to say. I'm 72yr old woman now. I've followed you and have been so very proud of you and women that can see the vision of what could be and will be I'm afraid. I'm so thankful you were here in my life. That you sowed your seeds of what can happen that will still be valued after our time on earth is gone. I'm hoping that many young folks see the possibility of what can be and held fast to your shooting start emblazing another path. Maybe and hopefully for animals and the rest of us next!

A beautiful soul, fly high, you’ve earned a place in history, second to none xoxo
You roots and shoots was an absolutely amazing achievement

I am but one little voice in the millions, remembering a lady I never met but admired greatly from afar. How wonderful that one life could mean so much to so many. I know you will be playing Mum in the jungle of heaven, forevermore, Jane. Rest in peace.

I worry there will not be another like her. Our human world is falling to pieces.

You were one of my heroes for as long as I can remember. I visited Gombe Stream and considered it one of the great privileges of my life to walk the same paths as you and meet the descendants of your favourite apes. And some of the originals who knew you. Your life was so impactful and you were so admired! Rest easy now sweet Jane.

Columbia Missouri 2014. The reason I went in the direction of animals and science as a career. Thank you for teaching so many lives the importance if it.

She was a great example to all of us.

Thank you for all your hard work remarkable woman who never stopped looking after Mother Earth.

RIP dear lady. I am thankful that you were inquisitive. You left a lot of knowledge to be explored and built on. I would've liked to have attended one of your talks in person. Thank you for sharing.

RIP Dr. Goodall. Thank you for becoming my little girl´s hero. We were so lucky to attend your talk in Arizona back in 2023. Will never forget

I remember watching many
hours of Jane interacting and being accepted by those chimpanzes and I was very impressed by her. I was drawn to and spent hours dreaming of being a part of her Studies.

Hugo, Your mom is here in your heart watching over you with her eternal kindness and love.
Marion Andrews

Jane you were the mother of all mothers and truly Tarzan´s `real´ Jane.

May your work and hope live on forever

What a wonderful role model you were.We will miss you Jane RIP.

Dr. Jane, thank you for everything you did both for the environment and all the creatures of Earth.

You will be greatly missed for your decades of work, encouraging personality, and ability to communicate with the animals. You helped us humans better understand the planet we call home and the impact our choices now will make on it.

There won´t ever be anyone else like you again. Rest in Peace.

As a middle school teacher, it was an honor to organize and lead one of the first Roots and Shoots programs in the U.S. when Dr. Goodall was located in Ridgefield, CT. She visited my middle school, and I recall that she was not feeling too well at the time but still made the effort to travel to Danbury and talk with the students. Dr. Goodall's purpose and passion will be missed tremendously! Thank you for making the world a better place and helping humans better understand how closely we are connected to nature.

She was always a part of my life - a shining beacon of possibilities and all good things - love of animals was a shared passion and she was such a good person! I can´t imagine her not being here; my sincere condolences to her son and his family. She was so loved.

Jane was my hero. She is the reason why I have dedicated my life to working with animals. Thank you Jane for speaking up for the animals.

A great legacy.

She was a wonderful woman and wonderful person who will be remembered in history and science forever hope she flys high up there.

Sorry to hear of Jane´s death. Her contribution to science and animals will forever be remembered.

I loved Jane and the work she did with Chimps. She was a very special person in so many different ways.

You have made the earth a much better place to live!

God bless u jane! All the animals and humanity will mourn u! Rest in peace

Jane, you make me such a better person. A role model to follow, as I had no mother or grandmothers of my own. Thinking of your wisdom and teachings causes me to choose the right path if I am tempted to act poorly out of pain or hurt. Thank you for your determination and spirit. I will not forget you and I will strive for proper protection of living things for the rest of my life. Thank you for sharing your love and showing me how to be the best human I can. Rest well Jane. -Jennifer

You always surprised me with how much hope you had for the world to become a better place. Better for the animals and consequently for humans. Jane, you were one of a kind and I´m sad that no one can take the torch from you. Your entrance going back "home" must have been something special. Xo

Rest in peace wonderful lady.

I am so grateful for her "Book of Hope."

Jane was deeply loved and respected by millions.
She devoted her love and respect to all
living beings and I am deeply grateful.

So sorry to hear of Jane Goodall´s passing! I remember reading about her in high school and watching National Geographic specials on her life´s accomplishments. May her legacy live on. Thank you for your life´s work

Jane Goodall was my hero. I was lucky to hear her speak at the university at my hometown a few years ago. I'm deeply saddened by her passing.

Just learned more about you, thank you for all you did for animals

A pioneer for women in science. Conservation advocate, her work brought breakthroughs in.So many fields. 91 years doing what One has a passion for, is not wasted time, a Happy life. Thank You for your efforts.

I'd like to share,
this poem was being recited in the background on my computer speakers when I was first reading and finding out the news about Jane's passing, I didn't know what I was about to read and the two things were happening at the same time, I could hear David's voice while I was reading about Jane, it felt like an unusual connective moment, the saddness, inside tears, deep gratitude,
and what feels like an incredibly profound loss to the world.
Here's the poem...

THE SEVEN STREAMS

Come down drenched,
at the end of May,
with the cold rain
so far into your bones
that nothing will warm you
except your own walking
and let the sun come out
at day´s end
near Slievenaglusha
with the rainbows doubling
over Mulloch Mor
and see your clothes
steaming in the bright air.

Be a provenance
of something gathered,
a summation
of previous intuitions,
let your vulnerabilities
walking on the cracked,
sliding limestone,
be this time,
not a weakness,
but a faculty
for understanding
what´s about to happen.

Stand above
the Seven Streams,
letting the deep down current
surface around you,
then branch and branch
as they do,
back into the mountain,
and as if you were able
for that flow, say the few
necessary words
and walk on,
broader and cleansed
for having imagined.

a bright light has ascended
simple, natural, all the way to beyond self

one person was able to live love serve notice care
nurture change stand-up understand relate connect

humility strength courage support dedication patience determination
grace integrity genuine-authenticity a-call-to-action perseverance

it will take an ocean of people to continue

someone really wanted to help this planet and all it's inhabitants
with heart body mind soul spirit ... everything

Thank you Jane Goodall for educating humans about the need to respect, understand and protect the environment and the non human inhabitants of this planet. Well done.

The most extraordinary woman of our generation, loved across the world not only for her research but also for the person that she was. A strong woman who was able to convey her message with love and kindness.
The lights have dimmed at her passing.

THANK YOU JANE GOODALL FOR SUCH A Life long legacy and a life well served!!!

your absence is felt. you were a true earth warrior and will be greatly missed but always loved and never forgotten. thank you. I will grieve your absence for the remainder of my living days.

I have wished I could have met you. My number one bucket list was to go to Africa. I have always loved animals and followed your life through your books and documentaries. We have lost a hero/advocate but your name and passion will live on forever. God bless you and sweet dreams of Flo, David Greybeard, Frodo and all the many other chimps.

We can only pray that we have more people like Jane Goodall on this earth to spread kindness, love and respect for all animals, all life! God blessed us with her in our lives!

HER NAME ALONE IS A LIFE WELL LIVED. SHE WAS GOOD TO ALL
AND WAS A GREAT EXAMPLE TO ALL WHO CARE ABOUT OUR
NATURAL WORLD WHICH GOD CREATED FOR OUR USE. AMEN

What a wonderfully patient and kindly person you were. Your respect for animals
translated into augmenting our human
knowledge of our primate cousins!

You will be loved forever for ALL YOU'VE DONE!!!! THANX A MILLION!!!!!

Thanx for all!! You've done!!! You will forever be loved!!!!

. Thank for everything..... We owe you greatly!!! You are & forever will be loved!!!!......

What was one small step for Jane was one giant step for mankind. Dr. Goodall's legacy will live forever.

My sympathy goes out to her entire family and her friends. Not to mention all the primates she worked with while doing her research. She with her favorite chimpanzee now. David Greybeard!

One of my favorites, Jane Goodall has passed away. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends. I had the privilege of doing some artwork for her personally, via Determined Productions and the WWF in 1987. Amory Millard asked me to paint a hand painted sweatshirt for her with David Greybeard on the front. Apparently Ms. Goodall love it! She sent me a thank you note and a signed copy of THE CHIMPS OF GOMBE. What a great book. What an amazing life, career, and legacy. She is now back with her favorite chimps David Greybeard.

I am sad that you have passed away . You have been remarkable in all you have done for animals . I have always thought a lot of you. I am glad to have known of you since we share the same interest of animals. I wish I could have met you in person.
Love you always .
With sympathy, Joe Griffin

You were an icon for girls and women. You blazed a trail to lead an entirely new path for females. When others told you "girls and women don't do that," you led the way for billions of women with your ingenuity, intelligence, grit, and care for the wild world. Your authentic message was of unity and getting everyone to the table to preserve the planet. Billions of people before us, billions here now, and countless more to come, but there will never be another like you to do what you did. You redefined scientific knowledge that and shifted paradigms. Thank you.

I was lucky enough to attend a Jane Goodall speaking engagement in NYC a few years ago.
A great spirit has left the planet a better place for all she touched. I am grieving...

Beyond words....

The greatest woman of the last 60 years has left an everlasting legacy of goodness, kindness and a message for all of us still alive. Farewell and know that you will be remembered as long as humans walk on this earth

Forever in their hearts
Forever in our hearts
Heaven has you

The world lost a great woman with the passing of Jane Goodall.

Such an incredible woman. I have so admired her over the years for being such a constant advocate for conservation and educating us on our closest animal relative. I spent a month in Africa about 15 years ago, mostly experiencing safaris in Uganda, but also went over for a few days alone to Zanzibar and Kenya, and I can totally understand why Jane would have immediately fallen in love with Africa and their wildlife.
It's heartbreaking that the forests are disappearing, and such a great advocate has passed. I hope her institute continues to carry on her fight. Jane Goodall was definitely a person who left this world trying her best to make it a better place. RIP Jane, you fought a long hard fight and did it with poise.

Having worked for Jane, traveling to Kigoma and Gombe Africa, and meeting with her several times was an unbelievable lifetime experience. I have never met a person so centered as Jane was. And she inspired thousands. Let us continue to do the work Jane began!

God bless you Jane for the kindnesses you showed to one of God's most wonderful creatures.

She was a true jewel.

Jane Goodall, a small, delicate, and quiet being with a personality like a titan.

I had the incredible honor and joy of meeting her personally over 20 years ago. What a blessing.

I hope, dear Jane, you are now reunited with all the beings you loved most.

"It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness."
Jane Goodall was a true sun, and let us all pray that her legacy shines forever.

Rest easy, Ms. Goodall. Your spirit will forever live within me.

A brilliant mind, a devoted scientist that devoted her time to the study of chimpanzees that shed so much light on the subject that opened eyes to a whole new world. She brought so much love and attention to chimpanzees and worked tirelessly on their behalf. Her dedication will never be forgotten. Sincere condolences to the Goodall family. So very sorry for your loss. May God be with you all in your time of loss.

I'm a Chinese student. The first time I knew Goodall was on English class. R. I. P.

What an amazing person. You can feel her warmth and love for all creatures.
She followed her calling and thank goodness she did for humanity.

Thank you Jane for teaching us something painfully obvious.

A heartfelt goodbye to one of our best planetary grandmothers
from another woman-scientis-crone.

Just another of the millions who followed and admired your life work dedicated to primates and the Earth's other wild life and climatic matters. We and future generations owe you an immeasurable gratitude for all you did to persevere and advocate for a better understanding of some little known and little appreciated aspects of a fast developing world. May you now rest in eternal peace knowing that you left a large community of lay and professionals sworn to continue your ambitious but much needed work!

You were my hero. Of anyone on this planet, I wanted to be like you. May your legacy of conservation and compassion live on. May we always look to you and your life for wisdom and strength.

Though I did not know her personally I loved her and respected her very much, she is already missed. I pray her work will continue and be helped, may she rest in heaven forever.

Thanks doesn't encompass my gratitude to your life and contributions

Job well done. Rest now.

Enjoy the galaxies! Thank you for making the world a better place for all!
