You have been on my mind lately Geoff and now I see why. I remember when you told me your mom had brain cancer. Now you have lost your wife to cancer as well. Life can be so cruel. I'm so very sorry

Jane,
I think of you on your birthday.

Janie, I think of you often. Our time in Ann Arbor together and all of the years when we were physically apart but emotionally as close as ever mean so much to me. We could have been sisters.

This is the link to a video recording of Jane's memorial service. It was captured via cell phone and the church's wifi to a YouTube live stream, so there are some video glitches and the sound quality is somewhat uneven. But  the entire service is recorded.

When I was the Chaplain at Valley Medical Center, Jane did her music practitioner intership. It was a challenge to set it up because of all the red tape, but she did it. She was a blessing to the patients, families and staff.

This is sad news.... She left us much too soon..........!

How I will miss seeing Jane sitting in front of me every week in the Rainier Symphony, playing flute and clarinet duets, visiting in person and on the phone, and other things that good friends do. She helped me feel more at home in a new orchestra, and cheered me up when I had an injury that kept me from playing my clarinet for a few months. I will always remember the good times we had.

Jane was an incredible human being. She was caring, kind, and phenomenally dedicated to everything she did, especially as a musician. I am so grateful that she was in my life almost from the time I moved to Seattle about 20 years ago, and I will miss her more than I can ever say.

Jane was a very kind and talented person, she will be missed by all. Our sincere condolences.
Tim and Janet Jackson

We are so sad to learn of Jane's passing. She was a lovely person and marvelous musician! She will be sorely missed!

Our sincere condolences on Jane's passing. As Jane's Area Coordinator at Music for Healing and Transition Program, I was honored to work with her. Jane was a bright, funny and amazingly talented therapeutic musician. She will be missed very much. Hugs to all of you in this time of sorrow.

Jane was a cheerful, generous, skilled, and purposeful music colleague. Her quiet good humor and energy fed all of us. Though I knew her for only a short time, I'll miss that and remember her fondly.

Dear Friends,

I will set up a YouTube live stream for the service. I’ll be using my cell phone, so it depends on getting a good cell signal at the church. The stream will be titled “Jane’s Memorial” and located here:

Condolences from Brett and Dara、very sorry to hear of Jane’s passing. She will be deeply missed by many members of SGI-USA、Highline District.

We were blessed to be neighbors of Jane and Geoff's in Federal Way. I often got to hear Jane's beautiful flute music from our home. This always brought a sense of comfort and joy for me, reminding me of the years when I played the flute in school. Jane was always a kind, friendly neighbor. She always took a moment out of her day to chat and see how we were doing. I admired her zest for life and music, even in retirement! Praying for comfort for her friends and family.

I'm so sorry to learn of Jane's passing. She was a wonderful musician and Friend. I met Jane through the SGI Nichiren Buddhist community about 20 years ago when we both chanted and performed several times for Buddhist events at our beautiful Culture Center in SeaTac. I introduced Jane to the MHTP and I was delighted when she became a CMP. Jane had a big and caring heart, which she lovingly shared with everyone who was fortunate to hear her play her flute. I'm chanting for her eternal happiness, and for Geoff and family. NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO.

We met Jane in the fall of 2011 when our 10 year-old daughter decided she wanted to play the flute. Grace has autism and for three first few weeks of band, she couldn't grasp how to get a sound out of her flute. In desperation, I called a local music store and asked for recommendations for a private flute teacher. Jane was such a God send for our family. She had experience with special education students and was the perfect match for us. Under Jane's instruction, Grace's musical skills improved and Grace played in the school band and sometimes church orchestra throughout high school. Jane also taught Grace piano. She was so patient and kind. I hope we were able to convey to her what a blessing she was to our family. Music gave Grace a way to belong to a group and was her social connection through her school years. Grace had her last lesson with Jane in June and we were shocked and saddened to learn of her passing. I feel sure she is making beautiful music in heaven now. We are praying for comfort for her family.

I never heard Jane play the beautiful music that was so dear to her, but I always witnessed her smile. She had a very generous and kind spirit and it was always on display whenever we would meet. I'm so very glad I had the of privilege of knowing her, if even as a neighbor for all these years.
Prayers for her friends and family.

Jane Leeson was a wonderful person..and I considered her a friend during our years at the U of M. I have good memories of our time in the Symphony Band...including the 1971 European Tour...She will be missed.. My sincere condolences to her family..
