This website is in memory of Jane Nemitz, beloved Wife, Mother, & Grandmother.
She is survived by her husband, Don of Circle Pines;
Three children, Thorvin (and Barbara) Apland of Liberty Township, OH, Laura (and Shawn) Smith of St Paul, MN & Jacob (and Amanda) Apland of Otsego, MN;
Six grandchildren, Shawn, Alanna, Connor, Joey, Aidan & Johnathan;
Three sisters, Beth "Becky" (and John) Coleman of Woodbridge, CA, Pamela (and Del) Winge of Hastings, MN & Paula Byhaug of Dawson, MN
We will remember her forever.
There was a celebration of Jane's life on Saturday, June 11th, 2016 at Golden Lake Park in Circle Pines, MN
We had about 70 people show up, we told stories, recounted memories, and had a few laughs.
Jane loved the outdoors, summer, and lakes, so we decided to honor her with a picnic by one of her favorite spots.
She took the kids there when they were young, and Jane and I visted a few times by ourselves.
Some pictures from the memorial are posted.
Tributes
Leave a tributeI still miss her, but am happy that I had the time I did.
So much has happened in the last seven years since Jane passed away.
The grandkids are growing up, I'm getting older, and life just goes on.
We all miss you Jane, life has not been the same without you.
None of us will ever stop loving you or missing you.
We will carry on, each of us in our own ways, but you will forever be in our hearts.

This time of year is hard, because Christmas was Jane's favorite time of year.
She used to tell stories of the farmhouse when she was young, and anticipating opening up the storage to get out the decorations.
We all still enjoy the season, but it just is different now.
Everyone is doing well, kids and grandkids, but we all miss her.
We all still miss Jane, it is hard to think that it has been five years now.
Christmas was always Jane's favorite time of year, and so many memories of her doing the decorations.....
The kids are doing well, the grandkids are so much bigger now :-)
We carry on, as she would have wanted us to do, but we will never forget.
Jane, we Love you, we miss you, and we are always thinking of you

She will always be in the center of my heart, and I miss her so much....

Jane, we miss you
This time of year is always the hardest for me now, you made Christmas so special, and now that you are gone, it's hard to get into it even half as much as we used to. Only put up one tree so far, but will get the old one up so I can light it on Christmas Eve (106 years and counting)
Jane, we all miss you and will love you forever
It's been three years
Hi Jane,
Three years ago today you said good bye to us all.
We all miss you, and the hole in our hearts is still there.
The kids and grandkids are doing OK, and we are moving forward with life. But we never have a gathering when someone points out how much you would have loved something, or how an event made you laugh. Yesterday, as we watched the Vikings finally have a great game, several comments were made about how you would have been whooping and yelling with the rest of us with each touchdown. You are living on in our hearts and memories, but we would all rather have you here with us yet.
Today is a tough one, it makes me aware of how much I miss you all over again.
You told me that I could not be sad, that I should go out and live life after you were gone. I have been trying, but it's difficult as almost everything I do brings memories of you. I will keep moving on, celebrating life with the kids and grandkids, telling stories and keeping you alive in all our memories.
Love, Don
