Jane Lynn O'Leary

All these years later I am still thinking a father Gregory and Jane. I only knew them briefly but Jane was the warmest kindest person I think I've ever known. She invited me along with my mother and husband to a dinner one evening at they're beautiful home. I never did get an opportunity to reciprocate. She was truly inspirational..

We are just numb for all of you, Dracaena, Fr. Gregory, and Clorinda. Surely it will take the hand of God to weave this tragedy into the life of our human family, and of the O'Learys. Please accept our feeble prayers for Christ's mercy for your hearts...Dracaena, I wish I could be with you. I wanted so badly to be counted in the cloud of witnesses at St. Philip's. Please know you are loved deeply, and that hearts all over ache for you. I am a mother on this side of the veil with two children in Heaven. It is a tough, but very real, relationship. Tough because sometimes I do not know what to do with myself because I am still bound by this life. You and Clorinda will surely spend a lifetime growing to know this intimately, but your beautiful mother is still very much your mother. She loves you. She can pray for you. You can pray for her and for her relief. I am so sorry for what you and your dad are having to endure, and for the depth of pain the four of you must know. Fr. Peter Jon, Christian, Nina, and Gregory George and I send our love. May her memory be eternal, and may her soul dwell in peace where the saints repose. And may our Zoe and Gabriel have one more lap to sit on. Pray for us, Kh. Jane.

It is with great sadness I send my heartfelt sympathy to Jane's family.
I met Jane during our freshmen year at Preston High, She inspired me with her intelligence, motivation, commitment to family and friends.
This world is a darker place without her kind and gentle spirit.
