Janae Michaelson Obituary

Janae Michaelson, committed life's partner to Dr. Darrel Kneupper of Colorado Springs, made her transition on Tuesday, August 7, 2007 after a long battle with liver disease. She was born Janet Virginia to Paul and Elizabeth White of San Antonio on January 31, 1952 and is survived by her mother Elizabeth White of San Antonio, her sister Kay Silkensen and her family in Elgin and Austin, Texas and her daughters Keora Shoemaker and Amber Russell of Austin. Janae was a wonderful free spirit who truly lived the aloha spirit she came to cherish so deeply. She will be missed by all of us whose lives she touched so profoundly. A celebration of Janae's life will be held with her friends and spiritual family at Unity Church of the Rockies, 1954 Mesa Road, on Friday , August 17, 2007 at 1 pm. Aloha nui loa...

My precious friend, You will be missed but never forgotten, We shared many good times beginning with the birth of my son . She and Paul opened their home to me so I could have my son at home with a midwife and soon became best friends . We shared many wonderful times with our children,watching them grow up from little angels to becoming beautiful adults. Even though things were not always perfect. She had a caring heart and was a good and loving friend to me. To all the good times we had. Janet, I love you. See later.

Love you,
Carol Rae

God Bless, your family and to all the happy times

Janet and I were not only just 20 days apart in age, but we had our first children (my Richard and her Amber) a mere 13 days apart! Then my second child, Mary, was just 5 1/2 months older than Keora. We met at 19 and shared many fun adventures of young adulthood, spirituality, friendship, marriage and motherhood, often trading babysitting in the early days. I'll always treasure those memories. I'm so glad we reconnected from time to time later in life and especially that I got to see her on her recent trip to Texas. My sincere condolences to Darrel and all the family. Happy Trails to you, old friend. I have faith that you're being cared for with the greatest tenderness and wisdom.
