Sorry for your loss. She was a great lady. She was always a favorite teacher of mine. I'll never forget her as my kindergarten teacher. Jay & I were in the same class. May God give you peace and comfort in the days to come as you miss her presense.

I have just learned of Jane's passing.  My condolences to Jay and all of the family.  I have very fond memories of Jane always giving herself and helping others.  She always put others first.
I'm sure there was a wonderful reuniting in Heaven when she entered to be with Bill.

My prayers go out to all of you.
Love,
Lisa

Dear Debbie, Jay & Family,
  Because we're snowed in, we may not be able to come to Wappner's but we wanted you to know how much we thought of your mother.  I was a high school classmate of hers '52 and she always was a special, caring person.  I talked to her on the phone often and she'll be greatly missed by many people.

Dear family of Jane Brown,
I was saddened and shocked when I saw the death of you mother in the paper.  Rita and I have cleaned for your mother for the last 13 years.  She was always  upbeat and very kind to us.  She cherished her family very much.  She will be sadly missed.  Take care.  Carolyn

I lived in Galion and went through grades seven and eight with Jane.  My parents, Rev./Mrs. J. G. Wells, pastor of the First Nazarene Church, and Jane's parents were close friends.  I was able to attend what would have been my 50 year class reunion, had I stayed in Galion, four years ago and had a great time recalling those younger years with Jane.  It is a great loss to all of us who knew Jane but I know that she is now safely with our Lord.  May God bless her family and may we all never forget this wonderful christian lady!

We were shocked to hear of Jane's passing.  She was a beautiful person who loved her music.  She made music lessons exciting and challanging for her students.  Our daughter, Donna, enjoyed having her for a teacher.
After our daughter graduated we always kept in contact with her through her volunteer work at the theater.  There we would catch up on her family and her students.  She was proud of her family.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.  I'm sure Jane is in heaven with her husband.
God Bless.

My thoughts are with you and your family.  I went to school with Jay.  Your mother was a great person and I looked forward to having her as a substitute teacher.  I don't think I ever saw her mad.  

I remember the time we went tobogganning with your dad and Mr. Terman when we were in the 4th grade.  Yes, a long time ago.  When we came back to your house covered in snow, your mother never said a word about the mess - at least not in front of me!  She will be missed.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Cheryl

Jane was the sweetest person always ready to help any way she could. I always think of Jane when I am shopping and come across pigs.  Jane love her collection I got her a pig doll that she like so much. She help me at the theatre when ever she could and she enjoyed the symphony. She would always work the Saturday night show. Bob and I have so many wonderful memories of Jane.
I know her family will miss her greatly for she love them all so much. I would like them to know Jane will be in our prayers. I am so lucky to have known her.

My thoughts are with you.  Jane was a treasure that will be missed.  She was an inspiration to many young people.  She gave them a lifetime appreciation of music.  She always encouraged her students to be the best that they could be.  It was a blessing to our family that Jane was available to teach Chris and John.

Mrs.Brown taught both of my daughters piano. She was a wonderful teacher & a Grand Lady. Heaven will sing with her beautiful music... Our condolences to her family and friends.

I am sorry to hear of your mothers death.  We will keep you in our prayers. Our daughter took piano lessons from her and she was in  the same mothers club as I was for awhile.
She was a wonderful woman and you can be proud of her.  At least she is in a good place now.

Debbie, Jay and families,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  I was just thinking of your mother on Saturday as I drove home from work.  I thought I'd call her to go to lunch as soon as tax season is over.  I don't think I've seen her since my own mother's death in 2005.  It's so strange hearing that she passed on Saturday.

Your mother was so good to me and my mother, and I'm sure many other students will be very sad to hear of her passing.  I sure wish life wasn't so busy so I could have had lunch with her once in a while.  

I wish there was something I could say to ease the pain of losing your mother.  I hope that her passing was peaceful and I know she's in a better place with your father now.  I like to think of my parents, grandparents, and sister having parties together somewhere.  Someday the rest of us will join the party, but for now, we make the best of life here because that's what they'd want us to do.

Jay, whenever I saw your mom she updated me about Kelly's health. I hope things are going well for both of you.  I have spent about 18 months caring for my husband through esophageal cancer, and I know how many times I wanted to call my mom to talk during that time.  Remember, she will always be with you, and that she brought you up strong enough to handle whatever life gives you.  If you ever want to talk...do it.  She'll be listening! 

I hope to make it up for calling hours on Wednesday, but I hope you'll forgive me if the weather makes that impractical.  Please let me know if there is anything I can do.  I spent so much time with your mom over the years she almost seems like family to me. 

I just wanted to drop a line in case I don't make it up tomorrow.  God bless all of you at this difficult time.  Your mother was a remarkable woman who touched many lives and made the world a much better place.  Her love of music will live on through my life and the lives of so many she taught before and after me.

I'm sending my condolances to all of you, Jay,& Kelly and Deb and let you know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Your mom was a special person when she came to the Drs office and I learned to know her as a friend over the years. May you all have peace, knowing she is in GOD's loving arms now.
With the weather now its impossible to get to calling hours. Hope you understand. My love to all.

My thoughts and wishes are with you at this time of loss for your family.  Jane will be terribly missed by friends and family.

I was a 52 class member and remember her fondly.

I felt bad when my mother told me this morning that Jane Brown had passed away. After a few seconds, I realized she was at peace with her husband Bill.  Jane was an inspiration to me.  She had the gift of music given to her by God.  I pray for Deb and Jay and I want them to know that their mother and father are with God.
