Although I know you are watching over us, I miss you dearly! The kids are all getting so big, I wish time could slow down.

I'm finishing up my degree and starting my internship soon. It's been challenging, but damn it feels good!
Life is certainly a hoot.

Thank you for sending Aunt G into our lives over a year ago now, she's awesome and has a great sense of humor. I'm so glad we've connected.

Until next time,
Love you Infinity.

Mom, I know that you're having a glorious happy birthday with Jesus, not uncommon to the birthdays you had here on earth with us. But for a glorified in him.

I have some news that will make you happy, I'm pursuing my music I'm singing a lot more than I have in the last three years got to give me words to write. I'm also sitting out of the keyboard you gave me on my 30th birthday. 23 years ago. I've come to the conclusion that you would not want us to be here and just be sorrowful in your desk but to celebrate your Eternal life that you're living with Jesus Christ.

No need to say happy birthday but glorious birthday I will see you soon someday in Gods timing. I do miss you, and will always love you!

Your son, Thomas

November 23, 2017

Jane, Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with John and the rest of the family.

Happy 80th Birthday Jane. Erik and I had a nice conversation with Al yesterday and he is still so much in love with you. Aunt Marry asked us to please purchase and place a single pink rose with baby's breath on your headstone. We ended up buying a dozen pink roses and added them to the many beautiful flowers, decorated rocks, pin wheel, angel figurines and even a Happy Birthday balloon someone had brought. So much love displayed for a special woman. You are missed and I am thankful for the memories.

Dear Jane, We had a wonderful Christmas eve and Christmas day with Joel and family. All the kids were home so it was great to see them all. John is working in Seattle for an ad agency and is liking it. Kally is studying to be a registered dietitian and is going to tour Europe this summer on a college student tour. She is very excited about that! Teagan is a sophomore in HS and is busy on the dance team. I am going to be a great grandma in May as Megan is expecting a baby boy. I know that you will celebrate the event with me, just from a distance. Jackie was at Joel's Christmas day. Both Steve and Michael were working. Michael is studying at Boise State to be a nurse and still works part-time so he is busy. Tom Guttenberg graduated from law school in May and got married Nov 1 and has passed the CA bar so we have had quite a busy year trying to keep up with the events in the family. Another big event was Geri and Ed's 50th party. Just wanted to let you know what is happening in my life, as I do miss you so much, and talk to you often. This feels more like writing you a letter. Joelle is a freshman at Carroll College in Helena she received a leadership scholarship and is also playing on the soccer team. We visited her in Oct and celebrated her birthday. This pretty much sums up our year and we look forward to 2016. I love you and miss you, say hello to all the family in heaven. Hugs, Colleen

December 25, 2015

Sarah Jane,
Mele Kalikimaka, or Merry Christmas.
May you have continued peace and harmony with family and friends.
Geri and I went to Andrea's and Paul's for Christmas Eve dinner of crab and artichoke and salad, lamb chops. My brothers and sister were there and we had a great time together.
Today, we will be having Andrea, Paul, Les, Joe, Gregg, and Wanda and Cliff Waldron. The main course will be beef willington.
Geri talked to Steven yesterday and he looks good and, oh, what a proud grampa. Steve is going to cook and prime rib today. Steve really misses you.
Hope you and John are cooking up a storm and serving to all the relatives.
We love you and miss you,
Love,
Geri and Ed

Jane, Happy Thanks Giving,
Did our 50th wedding anniversary on October 10th. Sure missed you and all your knowledge about putting on these kind of parties. There were about 200 people who came to the party including family and friends. Al was there having lots of fun with his/your kids and grand children. All of your's and Al's kids were there, all of Diane's kids were there and all of Coleen's kids were there. Gregg and all his kids and grand kids were there also. Many of the family's children and grandchildren were enjoying the evening including Steven's grand child and your great grandchild "Peanut".
We all miss you a lot. I know you were there in spirit but we would rather have you there in body and mind.
A lot of our friends from our car club, Route 26 Cruisers, were there also. Every body had a great time.
Paul and Andrea did the dinner which included plank salmon and flat iron steak. Salads and deserts were made by many friends and family volunteers.
Geri's cooking Thanks Giving dinner today and could really use you help. Actually, she's been cookin(preparing) dinner for the last three days.
We will be having 12 people for dinner. The Thanks Giving festivities will start around 3:00pm with dinner at 5:30.
At our Thanks Giving dinner will be my family less Joe, Kenny Beaver, Bonnie and Mike Varney, Jen, Mitch and Joele, and Andrea, Paul, and Les.

Dear Jane,
As I am sure you watched your celebration of live, you could see all the unconditional love that you taught all of us was very much displayed.
The joint efforts on everyone's part made your day special and beautiful.
Having Father Tim, our nephew, as the celebrant, could not have been better. He again did an outstanding job.
The music you had chosen could not have been more fitting. All the songs reflected the way you live you life. The song "Come to Jesus", performed by your son Thomas, was magnificent. Oh, how proud you must be.
Your memory is a keep sake from which I will never part. You will always be in my heart and mind.
Love you and sending you many hugs. Give John a big hug from us.
Love,
Geri

Jane,
Today is Memorial Day and I am sure Al has flowers next to your picture like we do for both you and John.
As each day passes you are missed more than words can express. August 2 we will all be gathering to put your ashes to rest next to AL'S DAD.
Someday we will be together again,We love and Miss Ed &Geri

Grandma, I love you and miss you so much... you are so beautiful inside and out. I love seeing you in pictures, lots of wonderful happy memories and fun times. But it's just not the same as being in your loving presence. I will miss your hugs, some of the best in the world. But the awesome thing is... I can still clearly hear your voice in my mind... I love that. I love you infinity grandma... you always made me smile when you said that and we would go back and forth....

Happy Mother's Day. I catch myself wanting to call ya very often. I'm still not ready to delete *gma Jane* out of our phone book, stored in the land line.
Norah Jane resembles you. They are both getting large. Almost 6mo already! I remember how excited you were when I told you I was having twins. You loved the original name we had picked out for Everett (Gabriel)...Norah originally, Geneva Jane.
I wish you could see them. Xoxo

I am in La Quinta California and drinking my coffee thinking about Jane this morning as her birthday is coming up. My husband and Jane have the same birthday so I always remember her. This year I skipped Phoenix but I always will remember my dear friend Jane. I miss you! And I opened my iPad and there was a notice from Steven about your memorial...or better yet Jane was it a message from you? Love you dear friend!

Jane, I miss you so much and feel such a void as I start the new year. We had lots of good days together and worked hard with the catering and played some great whist games and 3/13. We had a bond that I really miss and so many times want to call you and than realize I can't.. This is my only way to tell you that I think of you every day and that I love you and miss you. You were a great sister!!

Jane...I think of you and your family often! You have quite a legacy Jane.....I am not quite sure if you knew the impact you had on people's lives..I am honored to have had you as my friend and when you called me a sister you did mean it. You had sisters all around you! And then you had your sisters and brothers. How special. Al was perfect for you and he for you. Thank you for being in my life and making it more special. Since I can't tell you until I make it to Heaven I want your family to know how much I miss you! I will have so many things to share with you. Love Jo
