I loved Jane. She was one of my best friends, when we lived in Smithville. She was my nurse when my son was born; our kids played together; swapped baby sitting; went to the same church, etc. We were not in close contact after we moved and our children became adults. I regret that, and did not know of her death until yesterday. Her friendship enriched and blessed my life. I send my love, sympathy, thoughts, and prayers. You are loved. Lola

Grandma Jane will be missies by us all. I’m so glad she was part of our upbringing. I have fond memories of playing on the farm in Braemer, admiring her many flowers, hummingbirds, and gnomes. When we came in from playing she would always go out of her way to make us feel at home and loved. She was never thinking of herself. Well except for when she was winding down for the day doing crossword puzzles and reading books with Grandpa Jim. She set the perfect example of what a grandmother should be.
Unfortunately we are unable to attend the services but we pray that you all take this opportunity to PONDER the good times on this earth while you can and thank the Lord for the loved ones He has given us.
We love you all
Ecclesiastes 7:1-2
The Contrast of Wisdom and Folly
[1] A good name is better than precious ointment,
and the day of death than the day of birth.
[2] It is better to go to the house of mourning
than to go to the house of feasting,
for this is the end of all mankind,
and the living will lay it to heart.
