“No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.”
Jane was my supervisor at New Vistas. She was fair and always led with her heart. Jane was the best supervisor of my career and a dear friend. She loved her family beyond measure. Thank you for everything sweet Janie.
Ben and family, I am so sorry to hear of Jane’s passing and your loss. I will always remember Jane’s rye sense of humor and the many laughs we had as work colleagues, at Blue Ridge Center. And our shared love of linguica pizza!
I hope you find peace and love in her memory.

Ben and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Jane. Although I didn’t see her often when I did she was always talking about her family. She was so proud of you all. She was a wonderful lady who was loved by all who knew her. May God wrap his arms around all of you and give you peace. Cherish your memories.

There are so many emotions. Jane was a beautiful soul. We had so many adventures white water rafting, hiking, going to swimming holes, hiking in the woods with lots laughter. We were a tight knit team at Blue Ridge Center. She was a coworker, supervisor and friend who loved life, Ben, Elise and Evan.
She lived a good life with lots love and made sure that her friends and family knew how much she loved them. All that knew her will remember her fondly. To her family she is a permanent part of who you are and you carry a piece of her love always.

Sweet Jane, I will miss your interesting conversations and your stories. You fought long and hard. Rest well my friend.
I always enjoyed conversations with Jane. She had some of the best stories, always had great words of encouragement, and always seems to know just what to say. She cared so much about others. I was blessed to have known her, and fortunate to have learned so much from her.
Going to miss you my friend Minnie Sullivan
Blessings and condolences. I’m so deeply saddened and will always remember Jane fondly.
