Dear Russ, Rob, Steve and Ellen, and all the grandkids,

I am sorry I couldn’t get to St. Cloud for Jane’s farewell. But I have been there in spirit all day. Jane and Bill were grand friends. My many memories of crashing at your house and being cared for by your folks have been crowding in all day. While Jane was tough, she was a model of compassion and generosity. I was the receipient of both. I will miss her as I know you all will. Jane and I both have given scholarships over the years to Camp Foley. I will make an additional gift in her memory. Peace and affection. John Welshons

I love you and miss you more than words could ever say. Don’t be surprised if I talk to you from time to time even though you are not around. I learned that from you anyway.

My Great Aunt Jane was a great person. Iwas very young when I met her, but we talked alot by phone. She always remembered my birthday and she will always be in my heart. I love you Tia! xoxo Marisol

Grandma thank you for being you and for loving us as much as we love you. You are a shining star that stands out above all the stars in a sea of stars. We will all miss you so very much. I love you Grandma. May peace find you as you meet with those that have gone before you. Love Always and forever.

I love you Grandma and I am going to miss you. I will miss seeing you and you saying “Hows the Boss doing today?” I was always so proud that you gave me that nickname. If anyone ever told me I was being bossy, I would tell them about how my Grandma Jane gave me the nickname “The Boss”. I love you so much Grandma and I am going to miss you a lot.

Love,
The Boss

I love you, I love you, I love you, Gina Jane.

We are saddened by the passing of your Mother and a great family friend. She was always there for my Mother and for my family when our Mother passed. Watching the photo tribute is when all the memories came back, the summers we all spent at Beaver Lake and at the old house and store. She was a comfort to us many times thru the years. I am honored to have know you Jane. The speical memories of your Mom are yours forever to enjoy and cherish. Find comfort in knowing that she is at peace and that you will see her again. Good-bye my friend.

With Deepest Sympathy to you and yours.

Goodbye friend

We will miss Jane. I have many fond memories of Jane, and visits to her lake home. I will remember her for her concern for others, love for her Grandaughters, and the family outings we were apart of. Margaret and Mike Lehnertz and Family

Very sorry to hear about Jane. She was a very special woman and I loved her very much. If there is anything I can do please don’t hesitate to let me know. I will talk to you soon. Love Charles

I want to send you all my sincere condolences in the loss of your dear loved one. At times the pain of losing a loved one in death can seem almost unbearable. Through God’s word the Bible we can not only find comfort and hope but answers to the many questions we think of when we lose our loved ones. God promises a time when tears, pain , and death will be no more. Revelation 21:4 says: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” That is a time we can greatly look forward too. NOt only will God do away with those things but he also holds out the beautiful resurrection hope for those who have fallen asleep in death. John 5:28,29a says: “Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.” What a comforting hope we can have to know that we have the opportunity of seeing our loved ones again.
Sincerely,
India

This is such a great lose, Jane was like a grandmother I never had! I will miss her greatly, but I have such good memories!

From my earliest childhood I have such fond memories of the times our families got to spend together. I always loved telling people I have an Aunt that lives in Minnesota. Jane, I love you and I will miss you very much. Billy, Pam, Abbie and Meredith.

A friend, a second mom, and my mothers friend. She brought balance and reality to all our lives. Also the best sense of humor and love of life, We will always remember. Your loss is our loss.
Remy & Cathy

Mom, You were the mom of my heart, there for every major event in my grownup life. I will love you always! Jan

My Tia Jane was one amazing lady! I always recognized her voice right away when she called. I didn’t get to talk to her as much as I wanted to, with her living in Minnesota and us in New Mexico, but I loved her so much.

Tia was the one that came up with my middle name “Rose”. I remember: She called me Rosie. I also remember the last time I saw her in person, when my family and I went Minnesota to visit her. She reminded me a lot of my Grandma Sarah. Even at an early age, I picked up on the elegance they both had. I always felt very deep respect and love for my Tia Jane. I will miss her and always remember her! Say hi to my Grandma for me Tia….

I love Tia very much, and will miss her. I hope she and my grandma and Auntie Ann are all smiling down on us, and are happy together again.

Wish we could be there but we are with you in our hearts and prayers. Jane will be missed by so many. Love you all.

Jane,

You helped shape who I am. Thank you for being my aunt and the best Godmother ever! I will always remember you and every single thing you did for me. Love you and miss you much, Mia

p.s. to all 3 sisters: Hug each other for me! xo
