I hope you find comfort in knowing how many people care about you! I will always cherish the memories I have of Jane. Matt, your love for Jane shows in the way you took such good care of her. You will in time find peace, we will always be here for you ❤️
Thanks you guys. I couldn’t have made it through the past 6 weeks. And I know Jane wouldn’t have made it through the past 5 years without your love and support.
Look forward to our next get together.
My sincere condolences Matt. I am sorry for your loss. You always spoke very lovingly about Jane. I know this is heartbreaking for you but try to find strength in God and your friends, of which, I know you have many.
Thanks David. I’ll be scarred for life but I will survive. Jane absolutely wanted that for me.
Dear Matt, I wish Jane and you didn’t have to go through this sad event. You were such a comforting presence for Jane through her long struggle. You were a wonderful husband by her side. Take care of yourself now.
Thanks Les. I can’t lie that was the roughest thing I’ve endured in my life. I will get through it eventually. Jane absolutely worried about that, so I must in her honor.
In time we’ll get together again.
Matt, we are terribly sorry for your loss. Jane was a wonderful person and wife who loved you deeply. We know she fought her illness with you at her side over the past several years. I’m confident she is at peace, and believe fully that you two will be united again in God’s kingdom someday. Sharon and I have you in our prayers.

Thanks Glen. If anybody deserves some peace it was that sweet woman.
Matt,
I’m so sorry and I hope you find comfort in knowing Jane is at peace. I know she fought so hard and I was definitely one to cheer her on. She was a beautiful person.
My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Thank you Tanya. She really took a liking to you. You helped her spirit during her long battle. For that I will always be grateful.
Connie and I are keeping you close to our hearts and in our prayers, Matt. We know Jane fought hard and is at peace with God now. We wish you support and strength from all those around you.
Our hearts are broken for you Matt, you two were the best couple. You were always so good to her so sweet!! We know God reached down and brought her home , it’s hard to see it now but she will always be with you giving signs.
Love you so much!
Im so very sorry to hear about your wife’s passing Matt. Sending my deepest condolences to you and your friends and family.
Matt, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Jane. While I didn’t know Jane, I know what you are going through since I lost my husband on April 11. My heart goes out to you and your family. I will be keeping you in my prayers. I hope you find some comfort knowing she is at peace now and not suffering. Take care of yourself. My deepest sympathy.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss Debbie. It seems we both joined that unwanted club. It is a horrible club, and I have had my struggles as I’m sure you are as well. I walk daily at my local park and I occasionally think some profound thoughts (at least to me). I recently wrote down something I worked through in my head, just today. Well, not being a very good writer, I asked AI to help me put the thoughts into something more poetic, something I could read back to myself to help me during the rough moments I still have. Well, AI is scary good, but this is what it wrote back. I will read it daily, and just hope that you may get some comfort out of it as well….
🌿 A Promise for Jane
I ask myself if I believe
you are in a better place—
and I know you must be,
for no heaven could hold less peace
than the pain you bore here.
Five long years of suffering,
each moment of misery
now transformed into
a deeper well of bliss,
a gentler rest,
a brighter light.
And yet—
I wonder if your joy waits,
if your ascent pauses,
when you see me bowed
beneath the weight of sorrow.
So let this be my vow:
The greatest act of love I can give you
is to rise,
to steady my steps,
to find again the thread of happiness
woven through this earth.
Not to forget,
but to honor.
Not to leave you,
but to lift you higher.
Go on, my love.
Climb to that place of peace.
I will follow in my own time,
with a heart that carries you still,
and a life that whispers back to you:
I will be okay.
I knew Matt had the better end of the stick when I came to their house and met Jane. She was warm and hospitable, and she had Matt’s number in the years after I would call Jane during tax season. She loved her garden, her pets, and most of all, loved Matt. This was most evident to me when I attended an anniversary party. They had very endearing comments about each other. I couldn’t believe how good a match God made for Matt than Jane. I’m sad for Matt but happy for Jane because she’s now at peace with Jesus and her loved ones that went before her. Matt, you will always be big Brother to me.
Matt,
Ann and I are very sorry for the loss of Jane. Unfortunately, we were not able to spend as much time in St. Louis as we should have to know her better and to continue our relationship with you and our other cousins. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Ann and Tim, thank you so much for the kind words. And of course your generous donation to St.Judes. I won’t lie, it has been rough. We were together, pretty much, everyday for 40 years. We were quite the team. I will miss her so much, and the one thing I know in my heart, is that she would want me to “suck it up buttercup” and to move on. I will do her that honor, it may take awhile, but I will be ok.
Matt. We are so heartbroken for you. The love the two of you had was immense. So thankful her struggle is at its end. You were so strong and caring throughout the whole journey you gave a new meaning to “for better or worse “. Though your journey together has come to an end, your new one has begun. Though it will be rough at times she would want you to live your life to the fullest. We are here for you anytime day or night. We are ready for more memories with you. Love and will miss you JaneO. Xoxoxo
I wish I could of chatted more with you two on Sat. I was inundated. Just know, once the dust settles a little around here, I will reach out and would love to get together. Love you guys.
Dearest Jane,
Our long distance relationship was so very special to me. Over the years you were a friend, a confident and someone I knew I could always count on. We always joked about the ESP we shared knowing that we were each thinking about checking in via telephone (before PC’s, cell phones and texting) with one another. That oddity continued even after we had other methods of communicating. Our chats over the years evolved from our professional lives (Ms. Controller/Comptroller) our families, your gardening, your bowling, the illness of my husband, his death, our futures and then finally into your long brutal fight with your illness leading to your inevitable death on Sept 4th, 2025 at 6:25 a.m. My dearest friend, I will miss you, I will always carry your smile and my love for you in my heart.
Dear Matt,
You suffered along with Jane through this whole ugly ordeal. It has been evident to me over the years that she was the love of your life As a husband you catered to her, you supported her in her career, in her efforts (lots of sweat equity there) to make a home that the two of you could enjoy, relax in and make a profit when moving on. You have been very courageous in watching your “Jane” go through grueling treatments to prolong her life and non-stop care for her at the end of life. Your heart is broken, your memories of pain are still fresh, but as I noted in reading your comments you are aware that Jane would want you to live your life to the fullness……. I’m pretty sure Jane has that on her “honey do list”!!! for you. Grieve hard, but do not let the agony of your loss keep you from living or from the ‘living”. Mike and I will be with you in spirit, heart and mind this upcoming Saturday. I promised Jane I would keep an eye on you and as such I will check in with you from time to time. In the interim you know that I am here for you should you need to curse the universe, etc.
Such a wonderful posting. You were (and are) the very definition of a true friend. I plan on calling you like soon. We can chat like you two did. Love you lady.
