Another year without Aunt Jane: let us never forget her influence in all of our lives, and pass memories of the person that she was to our families. Never forget her! She was a "special woman."

Think of Jane often. A true friend to my mother, and miss our chats.

One of my favorite and earliest memories of my Aunt Jane was at my 16th birthday party held at the family home on 3rd Street in dubois. The adults were all upstairs conversing and we young folks were in the basement room having our separate party. Even though I was on another floor I could see my petite dark-haired aunt holding Court smiling and laughing and keeping that group active and fun. She was a "pistol", that woman.

It is truly hard to find words ( if there even are any) that could express how deeply sorry I am for your family.
Jane was one of my moms greatest friends, and I loved her so much for that.
Her smile, and her way with words were always uplifting. She genuinely cared and not only spoke the words but walked the walk of a true friend. Not only to my mother but to us kids as well.
She will always be remembered and hold a special place in my heart. And the hearts of our family.
Prayers of peace that go beyond understanding for your family today and the days to come.

John,
Words cannot express the loss of your mom, the person who taught you and your siblings the values, lessons, hopes, and dreams that became a part of you. Though she is no longer with you physically, her love for you and your family will always remain in your heart and in your memories, and her spirit will continue to guide you.
May you find comfort and peace from the places, people and memories that filled her life.
Sympathy and caring thoughts are headed your way. Take care.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Janie was the sister of my dad, Jim Grant. When he passed away almost 30 years ago, Janie made the trip out to Denver in a blizzard to attend his services up in the mountains. We really enjoyed her visit, so my sister Cheryl and I brought our kids out to her house the following summer and the kids loved all of the antiques and (of course) the greenhouse. I remember photos of my sister Gail and I playing with Kim and Patty at Grandma (Ursula) Schalk's house when we first came over from Germany (1959, I think). We will be praying for all of you at this difficult time. I hope that you are able to get together and share your memories of Janie's precious life.
