My dear friend, Jayne. I will miss you so much.
The Miller’s and the Hale’s both moved to Midglen Way within months of each other in the mid 80’s and our kids grew up together and spent much of their childhood on the green belt we shared, learning to ride their bikes and playing all day outside. They were hockey, basketball & baseball parents too, and Jayne & Paul were the most supportive Mom & Dad, and as Janet mentioned their grandkids were everything to them, they attended all the games and events they could.
Both of our families shared Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for many years until the Miller grandchildren started arriving and dining rooms gradually shrunk.
Jayne’s love of gardening and home decor was immense and I learned a lot about plants from her, the decor thing I was never as good as she was, but I always sought her counsel.
Before Jayne’s illness started to limit her, I loved going with her to shop for all our annuals. There were new begonias outside her front door waiting to be arranged with other flowers when she passed.
She spoke to her girls on the phone everyday and if Allison or Brie called when Jayne & I were talking, she’d sign off because she wouldn’t miss a call from her girls!
She was a kind and lovely woman, often guarded, but totally fun-loving. We played cards, watched movies, and spent numerous days at the lake in Midnapore and Sundance over the years. Gary and the boys & I will miss you, Jayne, but you’ll always be in our hearts. All our love to Paul, Allison, Cody and Brieanna and their families. We are here for you!
Lynn, Gary, Michael, Jordan & Alex
