Ben,

I am so very sorry about Jane. As you face this difficult time, remember many people have you in their thoughts and prayers to help you.

I am sure Mom and Jane are together now. Can't you just hear both of them talking away like they use to, catching up on everything?

Jane was a very special person and she will be missed by you and your family and all the other people whose lives she touched.

My deepest condolences to you and your family.

The ceremonies and repast following were so elegantly done. I had not been inside St. James since the renovations. I am so glad that I got to meet your children. My thoughts prayers are with you as you begin life anew without your companion of so many years.

Love, Deigh

I just received word from Mary Rose of your wife's passing.

My heart goes out to you on this occasion. To lose your closest companion is the heaviest loss you could bear.

Take care, Ben.

So sorry to hear about Jane's passinge, she was truly a good friend. Although it has been several years since we worked together, I always think of her on Holy Days of Obligation because she would always come in to our office and ask me if I had been to church yet. On most of those occasions I had not even remembered it was a Holy Day. She will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Ben,
we are truly saddened by the news of Jane's passing. We were praying for her recovery knowing that she needed a miracle. I prayed for her just this morning (about 5 hours before her passing) as with most every morning during my devotion time. We also prayed for her as a family at supper time. You are in our thoughts right now Ben and our prayers as you go through this grieving time. Our hearts truly ache with you in the passing of your closest friend and dearly loved wife.
Jane was a special lady and we will miss her too. Please accept our condolences.
With deepest sympathy and sincere love,
Chris, InSuk, Eric and Isaac
