Condolences:

Jane was such a wonderful friend of our family and our parents, Albert and Arlene Wetzel.  Her sense of humor especially cheered up our mom, Arlene, who always enjoyed visiting with her.  Unfortunately, we are in Omaha for Thanksgiving week with our two daughters, Erin and Suzanne, who live here, and will not be able to attend the funeral.  Otherwise we certainly would be there. We would have appreciated seeing other family members as well. Jane and the family - you will be in our thoughts and prayers.  We will send a memorial from our family. Take care during this difficult time for all of you.  Rodger and Cindy Wetzel, Bismarck (Our mom, Arlene, is in the nursing home in New Rockford and has moderate Alzheimer's dementia.)

We are so sorry to hear about your Mom.  Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.  May you hold onto those memories of your Mom.  May God Blss you.  Shawna (Lynne) Hodek, Mike, and Connor Hoedek

I know that I will never forget her.  God Bless You All. Kandee (Toso) Johnson

Dear Aaron and Family,  We were so sorry to hear about Jane's death.  I enjoyed working with her at Joy's Hallmark in Bismarck.  We always had so much fun and laughed at the way she came up with comments for the customers. I'm so sorry that we are not able to be at the funeral.  Glenn is subbing, and I'm involved with a Geography Bee at my former school.  I loved going out for lunch with her on occasion and bringing the peaches to your house that she always enjoyed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sharon and Glenn Bertsch

We were so sorry to hear about your Mother.  We only met your Mom several times when they were in Ohio, but that was enough to know she was a wonderful person. Thank you so much for being by my side when my Mother passed and I wish I could be there for you. Our prayers are with you and your family during your time of loss.  Yours in Christ, Floyd & Trevor

Sharing in your loss with sympathy and love and praying God will hold you especially close. May you find comfort in treasured memories.   My condolences, Karen Summers Aardahl (classmate of Aaron's)

Aaron-   Was so very sorry to hear about Jane. You are all in my prayers. Jane is now at rest with her maker. That is what everyone say's but why does it have to hurt so much to us left behind. Just always remember you have alot of family and friends with you. God bless you All , Betty A. Roll

We send our thoughts and prayers for jane and may she rest in peace. I was 10 yrs old when Jane was born and used to love to take her and Jim all over in the stroller. She was a person of many talents and has now gone home to live in eternity. Shelley Mcmaster
