I was blessed to meet Jane a few years ago. She touched me deeply with her joy: of words, of people, of flavors, of life! Every time I spoke with Jane, she shared some wisdom for me to ponder. It could be something as straightforward as, when I apologized for being late to drive her to join me at Clark's and her favorite booth at The Fish Market in Santa Clara after his passing, she admonished, "No apologies. We have a guilt-free relationship!." Or when, after she dipped her spoon in the bouillabaisse, she exclaimed,"The great thing about being blind is you never know what wonderful taste combinations you will receive when eating! God needed another angel, Jane, but you will be missed. love, Susan Paluzzi
ReplyDeleteMost sorry to hear of Jane's passing. I knew her for some forty years and always enjoyed talking to her and receiving her messages.
ReplyDeleteShe was a unique person, with a special talent for people, and I know how much you will miss her. Please give my sincere condolences to the family.

My husband, Richard, and I are deeply saddened by your parting, Jane. You have left a large space in the world, but we are consoled by knowing that your wonderful spirit will live on in that space by way of your superb writing, and by your devoted family and friends. We will miss you so much, but hope to meet you and Clark again in the next world. "Rest in Joy, Dear Jane!" With our love, Helen and Richard Brooks
