Dear sweet Jane, 
I heard of your passing and was deeply saddened. 
I will remember good times we shared in high school and after.  I'm grateful that you will no longer be in pain. Blessings girlfriend.

Ms Zalewski was a model citizen here in our community she always treated us with kindness and respect.    Peace to the family and a beautiful dog in its new home.  Employee of the links

Jane Zalewski, an exemplary soul for all of us to emulate.
You're always a loyal and giving friend.
An incredible sense of humor and wit that would bring you to your knees laughing. Truly an intellectual with knowledge on numerous topics of interest and with great credibility in her professional area. With both physical and emotional endurance and strengths. Jane was always able to turn the other cheek and was patient and quick to forgive. She's so proudly spoke of her siblings, parents her family and her son Bill.  Thank you for your example and I look forward to hearing from family members on this wonderful post, there will never be enough room here to say all the wonderful things about Jane St Francis of Assisi blessed Kimmy and God bless Jane,yf  Lainey

Jane, You will be truly missed. Thank you for your friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and Kimmy.

By way of introduction my name is Albert from Paramus New Jersey and Tampa Florida, born in Europe.
I met Jane as she walked by with two Neighbors at a charity golf event just as  spectators here in Carrollwood.
I was immediately struck by her a classic European Beauty, she reminded me of the big blue eyes auburn hair Beauties back home in Europe. Each time I saw her she was so elegantly dressed hair and makeup so beautiful, but so humble.  She surprised me when she was able to converse  with me regarding my business insurance risk management legal ease!
A retired paralegal she said.  she had such a gentle and kind personality so Charming.  Never a bad or critical word about anyone.  

I'll admit I adored her from afar.  God bless you beautiful Jane

Jane I knew you when you were raising Billy you are exceptional and loving mother, a very faithful and loving friend to me as well.

I I saw how well you raised Billy you are good parent and loving person you were to everyone around you, your friend Mary

To my dear neighbor Jane and family the news of your passing just floored me. All the little conversations that we had outback as you walked Kimmy and I was swinging my golf clubs you never complained of your pain. I would be sitting on my couch and like clockwork you would walk Kimmy everyday. Kimmy was lucky to have you and your love for her. I will miss our talks as you walked Kimmy and may you Rest In Peace my friend and neighbor. You will Be Missed. My deepest sympathy to all of the family and friends of Jane.  :(

Going to miss you deeply. Meek and mild mannered,one of the most caring and sharing person I've ever known. This world needs more people like you to make it a better place.I'm going to miss the Sunday night phone marathons. I'll LOVE you forever. Until we meet again..... Thank You for sharing your life with me,Sis!
Love from Your Brother,Ed

I first met Jane last year during Eucharistic 24-hour adoration at the chapel at church in Carrollwood

there weren't enough people to sign up for the overnight 24-hour adoration but a few of us women came Jane was one of them.  She didn't wear her faith on her sleeve, but those of us who participate in Eucharistic adoration know what it means to be there for a couple hour time slot during that 24-hour With Jesus Eucharist.  We pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy together and she helped me strengthen my faith during a time of extreme pain.  We would laugh on our way home to our cars wondering what the neighbors thought we were doing out so late at night what a chuckle.  Have great respect for those people with such a deep spirituality who are so humbly pray in private it's very inspiring. She taught me the Chaplet of Divine Mercy what it was and it was from a Polish nun .   She helped me through some painful times those times we met late at night at the chapel with other women  giving each other strength she told me we should get squared away with God and we did ....diaryhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Mercy

I am so sorry to hear of Jane's passing.  We were co-workers at Zinober and McCrea for many years.  She was such a kind soul. I am sure she will be missed by many.

A brilliant and accomplished legal professional.  Jane you taught us so much and brought such value added to the firms you joined. Your knowledge of the law and cases was intuitive and you are wonderful mentor.  You had a work ethic unmatched by anyone. Even during retirement while you are battling such a severe back injury, you continue to make time offering your knowledge and advisement whenever we called.  
Especially gracious was when you were helping me during times when I was doing pro bono work for the underserved population.  An incredible caring professional well known in Tampa and loved we miss you.

Jane, a compassionate, moral giving woman.  Tender to her rescued Golden RetrieverKimmy, and caring to all our pets.  So enjoyed the fellowship with you as we all walk our dogs and enjoy our lives together in the beautiful Florida Sunshine . 
I'm touched by your concern and unselfish listening to others while you endured loss of Billy and chronic pain you always had time for us, talking, walking smiling.  You were an inspiration truly.  God bless Kimmy and your family.

I will miss you Jane. Thank you for the opportunity to know you and for the gift of meeting you and your family. Kimmy is in our hearts. Prayers and Grace to you Jane and Rose, Chris and Dorothy. In Christ love,
Terri Peavy
