I remember the first time we met and I could tell how crazy Jane was for her love my father-n-law Rich. Shortly after we met it was Mother's Day and I bought Jane a little bear that said Happy Mother's Day. From then on I always got her either flowers, a gift or a card to let her know she had a daughter. I bonded with Jane from day one. I remember her saying I'm going to adopt you. We would go shopping together and eat at one of her favorite places, Olive Garden. When I lived with Jane and Rich our bond grew and I was showing her how to bake and wrap presents in new ways, or do it for her :) When I moved in with my puppy sidney she fell in love and got a puppy herself named Levi. Levi and Sidney were our babies and we had great times together, including taking them to my wedding. I married her step son Eric and we were very happy to have her there with us. I remember her going shopping for make up for the wedding and I helped her to practice putting it on. Eric and I both were close to Jane and we always looked out for her and helped her when ever she needed us. Even thou she never had children of her own we were her children just the grown up version.
When I moved out and started a family, she was there for all three of my boys birth and she bought them special little stuffed animals (dogs) that my boys sleep with every night to this day. She always bought them things to play with when we would visit and we always discussed there education. She was always talking about how she loved to see them read and write. My boys love there Grandma Jane. She loved holding them and feeding them.
I have alot of great memories such as us on a bowling league together, I still have my bag and ball. Taking the dogs for walks and talking about life and girly things. I loved helping her cook and work around the house. Putting up a tree at christmas and going out to eat for birthdays. We had many traditions over the years and I'm so glad to be a part of her life.
I love you Jane and I will always and forever be your daughter. I'm glad we got to talk and spent time together that last day here with us.
P.S. I don't think it hit me until today at school Logan told a friend "that his Grandma Jane was in heaven with her doggy Levi because sometimes when you get sick, the doctors can't fix it."
