Grandma GG, was an inspiration. She molded me into the woman I am. With out her guidance, I am unsure of what my path might have been. I have wished for one more day: one more day to express my appreciation, show my love, and hear one more piece of advise. I wished for one more smile. She is still with everyone of us and one day we will be reunited.
I love you and miss you. I hope to make you proud.

I spent so much of my summers with her as we were together a lot since your dad and my mom were twins. I still remember when you just turned 16 and they let us tak off and drive to the lake from our cabing in Wisconsin. We had a great time. Always loved talking with you. See you someday and we will catch up. Love You Janie!

I enjoyed Jane's sense of humor and dedication to students in the classroom as I worked with her in District 8, FFC. Her love and caring was clearly evident in her student successes. Jane will be terribly missed in the classroom as well as by her book club. What a book coordinator you were for your fellow readers! Thoughts and prayers go out to Marty and family, and just remember that to be absent in the earthly body is to be basking in the presence of the Lord and Savior. Rest now, Jane and enjoy your rewards in Heaven.
