I'm sorry my friend, that I missed your passing. Your friendship meant so much to me, and often I find myself dialing your number.  Now you will sing with the greatest choir ever to be graced by your presence. I loved your voice, your attitude towards life, and your commitment to your friends. You will always be in my heart and my prayers......rest in peace my friend.

I have known Jane for 45 years.  She and I started working at the Department of Economic security at about the same time in the Mesa Multi-Service office at the onset of our careers.  We each went our own ways until may years later when I returned to Phoenix from Texas 20 years later.  Guess who hired me back to DES - Jane.  She hired me to work for her as a trainer  and conference planner with Vocational Rehabilitation.  It was through Jane that I discovered my "true career love" - conference planning.  Subsequent to gaining considerable knowledge through Jane, I went out on my own and started  my own business as a conference and meeting planner.  I just recently retired after 20+ very enjoyable years doing  what Jane started me out doing.  I thanked her every year for her faith in me.  We kept in touch with Christmas cards and letters but I was unaware that she had passed.  Covid sure kept us all apart.
I will miss Jane as a friend, remember the dolls and the bears,   and will always  be thankful to her for her support.  I f someone would have the time to contact me, I would appreciate it.  Thank you and I am sorry for your loss.  She was special.

I am so sorry for your loss. Jane and I worked together for Vocational Rehabilitation , first in the Mesa office and later in Phoenix  and got together occasionally for lunch even after we retired. We shared the joy of collecting antique dolls, although  not teddy bears .  A wonderful employee, ( all hustle and bustle), she kept a beautiful home and garden, was a good cook, and  a good friend. I will miss her.  May you find comfort and, yes, even joy, remembering the good times you shared together.
